Description
Skills Bootcamps are intensive, Level 3-5 or equivalent, flexible training courses.
Their aim is:-
• to 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 overall aims of the Skills Bootcamps are:
• to deliver flexible training programmes lasting up to 16 weeks, based on employer / sector 'in-demand' skills needs which may be either regulated (i.e. qualification based) or non-regulated (e.g. based on alignment with industry standards) enabling adults (19+) to complete training around work and other commitments, look to gain work; additional responsibilities; or access new opportunities, and will offer a guaranteed job interview (in the case of a new job) to individual participants on completion of the course;
• to address the needs of adults (19+) who are full-time and part-time employed, unemployed or returning to work after a break or self-employed, and provide individuals with wider access to opportunities to retrain, update or formalise their skills or acquire specialist skills;
• to address the needs of employers and the wider economy, to deliver targeted interventions to meet short/medium term demand to fill vacancies and drive productivity. They will help fill medium/higher level vacancies and bring individuals closer to better jobs, by linking them with line of sight to a job/ different role, additional responsibilities or new opportunities/ contracts; and
• to help fill vacancies and bring individuals closer to better jobs (including those currently in employment), by linking them with line of sight to a job/ different role, additional responsibilities, or new opportunities/ contracts.
• In addition, the North East LEP's Skills Bootcamp programme aims to ensure that training is available in sectors where skills provision isn't available or is limited and to test new models and provision in order to build sustainable skills provision in the North East LEP area (being Durham, Gateshead, Newcastle, North Tyneside, Northumberland, South Tyneside and Sunderland).
