We are pleased to announce the launch of Skills Bootcamps at TWI Middlesbrough to deliver funded learning for individuals and companies in the Tees Valley region.
Skills Bootcamps are free, flexible courses of up to 16 weeks, giving people the opportunity to build up sector-specific skills and fast-track to an interview with a local employer.
The programme, which you can join right now, runs until 31 March 2023 and offers three levels of funding, as follows:
- Fund One: 100% funding for unemployed and self-employed individuals

This funding is available to companies or individuals from the Tees Valley Region (Darlington, Hartlepool, Middlesbrough, Stockton-on-Tees, Redcar and Cleveland) and includes provision for 60 hours in-person contact delivered at TWI Middlesbrough as well as the potential for us to travel to your site or provide some additional online support too.
