Skills Bootcamps
East Sussex County Council is overseeing the delivery of Skills Bootcamps across the county in partnership with training providers and employers.
Skills Bootcamps are flexible courses of up to 16 weeks, ranging from Level 2 (GCSE) to level 5 (Foundation degree) giving people the opportunity to build up sector-specific and professional skills.
Participants can be unemployed, self-employed or employed (and looking to progress in their job or company).
These courses are fully funded for unemployed and self-employed people and for those in work, employers only need to make a small contribution. These courses would normally cost between £3500 and £5500.
Courses are available to help people gain skills in the following industry sectors:
- Construction
- Engineering and manufacturing
- Digital
- Early years education and Teaching Assistants
- Land-based sector (including animal care and viticulture)
- Business and administration
- Hospitality (including catering)
- Health and social care
Skills Bootcamps are designed to help participants gain the skills and knowledge to move into a job, to progress in their place of work or for the self-employed – to win new contracts. Those who aren’t working will be supported with an interview for a current job in their chosen field.
Whether you're looking to advance your career, switch industries, or simply learn something new, our Skills Bootcamps courses are for you.
