Skills Bootcamp
Connect through a series of nationwide Skills Bootcamps
IoC led Skills Bootcamps
The IoC worked with partners to connect employers and learners through a series of nationwide Skills Bootcamps that gave people the digital skills needed to take the first step into a tech career.
We currently have no active Skills Bootcamps. We may launch new Skills Bootcamps in the future. Please sign up below to receive an email when future programmes launch.
What are Skills Bootcamps?
Skills Bootcamps are flexible courses of up to 16 weeks that give people the opportunity to build up sector-specific skills and fast-track to an interview with a local employer. They were developed as part of the Government’s Lifetime Skills Guarantee, helping everyone gain skills for life.
They were designed for people who want to upskill quickly to work in specific tech-driven sectors (e.g. construction or web development) or for those who want to gain in-demand digital skills applicable to multiple areas (e.g. data science).
