Information for employers
Developed with and for industry, Skills Bootcamps are an effective and affordable way to develop your workforce or recruit new employees.
Can Skills Bootcamps help with recruitment?
Bootcamps are an excellent recruitment tool helping you to find local, work-ready talent with the skills set that your business needs.
All West Sussex Skills Boot Camps have been designed to address targeted skills needs identified by the county’s employers and key sectors.
Can Skills Bootcamps upskill existing employees?
Yes - Bootcamps are a great way to upskill your staff. By supporting an employee to enrol on a Bootcamp you could address skills gaps, encourage staff retention and help future-proof your organisation.
For employers enrolling staff onto a Bootcamp there is a contribution. For small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs with fewer than 250 employees) there is a 10% contribution. For larger employers with over 250 employees, the contribution is 30% of Bootcamp costs.
What if our skills gaps are not covered by Bootcamps?
If the current Skills Bootcamp curriculum does not address your skills gaps, training providers may be able to design a course specific to your needs.
