Help Design Skills Bootcamps to Support Your Workforce
NAAME and New Anglia Local Enterprise Partnership, with Norfolk and Suffolk County Councils, is backing Skills Bootcamps. They are the Government’s new high-profile training and recruitment initiative designed to help your workforce and recruitment needs.
We are looking for input from local employers to establish how Skills Bootcamps may work in our region and we would value your feedback.
You can help us to design a local training programme based on industry requirements.
What are Skills Bootcamps?
Bootcamps are tailor-made programmes that last from 60 hours to 16 weeks. They can:
- Support the unemployed seeking to gain the skills needed to find work
- Help those looking to retrain
- Benefit your employees who are seeking to upskill and enhance their contribution to your business, helping improve your productivity.
How can employer’s get involved?
As a local employer, we want your views and input:
- To identify recruitment challenges and where they might be supported by an intensive training programme
- To support the design and development of Bootcamps to maximise the benefits to your industry
- To provide support and advice on the key employment requirements of your sector (such as qualification entry requirements and skillsets)
- To identify opportunities for upskilling your current workforce
- To provide job interview opportunities based on your current vacancies
- To support the recruitment of work-ready candidates
How are Bootcamps funded?
The region-wide programmes are funded as part of the National Skills Fund and will train individuals over an intensive period with the aim of introducing these individuals to employers with current and emerging vacancies.
In addition to training, participants will receive employability support and career guidance aligned to your co-designed industry working requirements. This training may include a formal qualification as well.
