Skills for Life Skills Bootcamps logo.

Wave 6 of the Skills Bootcamps has officially begun in Somerset and Dorset, and it’s already proving to be a fantastic success.

With an impressive 68 applications to date, this initiative is creating valuable opportunities for individuals looking to upskill and advance their careers and for businesses to upskill their workforce.

The programme is designed to support local businesses, ensuring they have access to a highly skilled workforce trained in key industries that drive the regions’ economies.

One of the aspects of the Skills Bootcamp initiative is its commitment to using mainly local training providers, fostering community engagement, and strengthening regional expertise.

The programme covers a diverse range of subjects, ensuring a broad spectrum of opportunities that cater to different career paths and interests, including:

  • Engineering
  • Marketing
  • Transport and Logistics
  • Construction
  • Leadership and Management
  • Digital Skills
  • And more

Although Wave 6 is now fully booked, we’re already working towards delivering a 7th wave and as the programme gains momentum, we look forward to seeing the positive impact it’ll have on individuals and businesses alike.
