Skills Bootcamps

The Skills Bootcamps programme, part of the Department for Education’s ‘Skills for Life’ activity, is being led in Oxfordshire by OxLEP Skills and will be delivered between this summer, through to March 2025.

About the programme:

The programme is set to give Oxfordshire residents the opportunity to develop a variety of sector-specific skills, helping to fast-track individuals to potential, future interview opportunities and ultimately, paid work.

Working with a range of top-class delivery partners, Skills Bootcamps will provide free, flexible courses to its participants. 

You must be aged 19+ to take part in any of the Skills Bootcamps.
