Description

The North of Tyne Combined Authority (NTCA) is a partnership of three local authorities: Newcastle, North Tyneside, and Northumberland and has a directly-elected Metro Mayor.
Our vision is of a dynamic and more inclusive economy, one that brings together people and opportunities to create vibrant communities and a high quality of life, narrowing inequalities and ensuring that all residents have a stake in our region's future.

To support the NTCA's vision, our region requires a skills infrastructure that is fully aware of, and responsive to, the sectors that have labour and skills shortages. It also needs to take into consideration planned economic growth, both now and in the future.

Skills Bootcamps are intensive, 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).
The target number of Learner Starts across all Skills Bootcamp programmes in Lots 1 to 3 is 300 before 31 March 2023
For Lots 1 to 3 all Skills Bootcamps must be open to eligible adults and businesses within the North of Tyne region (Newcastle, North Tyneside, Northumberland)
