Skills Bootcamps are:

•    Flexible short courses that last up to 16 weeks

They are part of the UK Government’s Skills for Life strategy, and South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority (SYMCA) has awarded funding to Learning Organisations across our region to deliver Skills Bootcamps. From July 2024, we have been delivering Skills Bootcamps across Business and Administration, Construction, Green Skills, Creative, and Digital.

Skills Bootcamps offer a free recruitment pipeline solution by providing employers with a pool of candidates who have completed intensive, flexible training courses in sector-specific areas.

Our learning organisations can support your business in sourcing local talent to interview for your current vacancies, ensuring you get the skills you need, without the recruitment fee. 

We need employers to partner with our learning organisations and offer job interviews to learners when they have completed the course.
