Skills Bootcamps for Employers

Are you a recruitment specialist or hiring manager looking for newly trained, local candidates for job openings in your organisation?

Would you like to reduce the costs associated with recruiting new staff, while also supporting local people to develop professional skills and achieve their career aspirations? If so, hiring candidates through a Skills Bootcamp programme could be the right option for you.

What are Skills Bootcamps?

Skills Bootcamps are designed to train people with in demand skills and provide employers with a pool of newly trained professionals to interview for vacant positions or train existing employees to change into different roles. They give employers the opportunity to hire newly trained staff or upskill current staff.

Skills Bootcamps are up to 16 weeks and are available in:

  • Counterbalance and Logistics
  • Teaching Assistant

The initiative has been developed by the Government in partnership with employers, providers and local authorities, to help people develop the skills that are in demand in their local area and get a better job. The Bootcamps are a part of the Lifetime Skills Guarantee and Plan for Jobs strategies and are fully funded for local residents by the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority.

Benefits for your Business

Skills Bootcamps can help you to:

  • Quickly recruit and upskill staff with the right training and skills 
  • Reduce costs associated with traditional recruitment processes  
  • Boost productivity with motivated learners who can bring in fresh ideas and perspectives.
Cost

There is no cost to your business to recruit individuals who have completed Skills Bootcamps. If you train an existing employee through Skills Bootcamps, you will need to make a training cost contribution:

  • 10% if you are a small to medium employer with 1 to 249 employees 
  • 30% if you are a large employer with 250 or more employees.
  • Your employees may require time off for study and classes, depending on course flexibility and work hours.
