What are Skills Bootcamp Courses?
Skills bootcamps are free, flexible training courses for adults aged 19 and over that run for 10 weeks. They are designed to help participants gain in-demand, sector-specific skills for roles in areas like care giving, construction, engineering and green energy, with a guaranteed job interview upon completion. Developed with employers and funded by the government, they are a way for individuals to quickly upskill or change careers, and for employers to train their existing workforce.
