Bootcamps

Skills Bootcamps are a government initiative to support employed and unemployed people across the UK to access job opportunities and to help businesses to close skill gaps.

The initiative forms part of the Department for Education’s £2.5bn National Skills Fund, which is part of the Government’s wider Plan for Jobs.
