West Sussex County Council, working with the Sussex Council of Training Providers, has launched a new Skills Bootcamps Information Service to help local employers access targeted training and recruitment support.

Skills Bootcamps are short, flexible training courses designed with employers to address real workforce needs. Courses typically run for a minimum of 60 hours over up to 16 weeks and are intended to support both recruitment and workforce development. They can help employers to:

• Recruit job-ready candidates with sector-specific skills
• Upskill existing staff to address skills gaps
• Reduce recruitment risk by training people for real roles
• Access low-cost training, with up to 90% government funding

Each course is developed in partnership with industry and reflects real-world working practices, with a focus on progression into employment or further development.

To find out how Skills Bootcamps could support your organisation, you can book a free, impartial call with the Skills Bootcamp Information Service.
