Notice Description

Skills Bootcamps are Government-funded initiatives designed to help businesses find and hire the workers they need; as well as supporting adults to flourish and fulfil their potential through high quality training. Skills Bootcamps aim to secure benefits for adults by giving them access to in-demand skills training and a guaranteed interview for a more sustainable, higher-skilled job and higher wages over time. The benefits for employers include helping them fill specific skills shortage vacancies, enabling them to become more productive, more quickly. Skills Bootcamps are intensive, generally Level 3-5 or equivalent flexible training courses up to 16 weeks, with a guaranteed job interview (in the case of a new job), which equip adults with technical skills that enable them to access in-demand jobs, apprenticeships, new opportunities and an increased level of income over time (including for the self-employed). In Wave 3, the following lot areas are being focused on: Digital Core Digital Bespoke Technical Core Technical Bespoke Construction Green Skills Logistics Pathways to Accelerated Apprenticeships Skills Bootcamps should be open to all adults aged 19 or over, who are full-time or part-time employed, self-employed, unemployed, as well as adults returning to work after a break.
