University Centre Quayside have been successful in tendering for the new programmes in the North East called Skills Bootcamps.
Skills Bootcamps are flexible courses lasting 2 to 16 weeks, giving people the opportunity to build up sector-specific skills and fast-track to a guaranteed interview with a local employer. Skills Bootcamps are delivered in partnership with employers, further education training providers and local government.
The main objective of a Skills Bootcamp is to support people transferring in to sector specialised areas, progress into employment and develop their skills to get a better job or added responsibility. Skills Bootcamps are bespoke programmes that are designed with employers we have had commitment from employers such as Formula Plastics, Marmax Products, Key Enterprises, Jackson Hogg and AR Power .
The cost is fully funded for learners not taking the course through an employer or for those that are self-employed. If the programme is through an employer to upskill their exiting workforce then there is a contribution of 10% of the course price for SME’s and 30% for larger employers. All Skills Bootcamps start at level 3.
