Skills Bootcamps

Improving the skills of the North East workforce

We're working with employers across the North East to tailor Skills Bootcamps to the region’s skills requirements.

Skills Bootcamps increase training capacity, and help get more people into jobs in in-demand sectors.

Outcomes

Skills Bootcamps offer individuals with opportunities to retrain and gain new skills and gain industry-relevant experience. They also enable employers to fill specific skills shortages and team vacancies – increasing productivity within their organisations.

Cost

Skills Bootcamps are free to individuals, however if you're an employer referring your existing employees you will co-fund the training dependent on the size of your business. (30% for large businesses, 10% for SMEs).

Time commitment

Skills Bootcamps are flexible training programmes of up to 16 weeks learning activity.
