What are Skills Bootcamps?
Skills Bootcamps give people the opportunity to develop a variety of sector-specific skills, helping to fast-track individuals to an interview opportunity with an employer and ultimately, paid work.
From jobseekers, those who are looking to get back into work after a career gap and retirees having to return to employment due to the cost of living, the programme is set to have a real impact on the employment opportunities for Oxfordshire residents at a critical economic time.
Skills Bootcamps provide a range of free, flexible courses to applicable Oxfordshire residents aged 19 and over, each running up to 10 weeks (1 day a week).
Abingdon & Witney College are offering a range of courses that are fully funded for individuals, which means they are completely FREE! So grab this great opportunity while it is available.
