Training Opportunities for Cumbrian Businesses

Skills Bootcamps are funded training opportunities for businesses looking to upskill their staff, for employed people to increase their skills to upskill in the workplace or for job seekers to learn new skills and fast track to an interview with a local employer.

Skills Bootcamps are part of the Government’s Lifetime Skills Guarantee, helping everyone gain skills for life, offering bespoke training solutions to bridge existing skills gaps within high demand sectors. Funded through the Department for Education and forming part of the National Skills Fund, Skills Bootcamps place the employer at the Centre of training and development.

Costs:

  • Skills Bootcamps are always fully funded to the learner where they are unemployed, looking to re-skill or are self-employed.
  • There is no cost to employers in recruiting individuals who have completed a Skills Bootcamp. Employer participation is at the heart of the Skills training.
  • Employers contribute to the cost of training if they want to use Skills Bootcamps to train their existing employees – large employers (over 250+ employees) contribute 30% of the cost, and small or medium employers (SMEs up to 250 employees) contribute 10%.
  • Existing employees will need time to study and attend classes depending on their working hours and status and the flexibility of the course, so employers will need to support this and commit to the training.
