Partially funded courses to upskill staff are available for businesses in Hull and East Yorkshire.
Enrolment is now available for the next phase of Skills Bootcamps, managed by the Skills Bootcamps Hull & East Riding team, which is part of Hull Training and Adult Education.
The scheme offers quick, employer-led training in high-demand sectors including digital, transport and green technologies.
There are also courses available such as Managing Food Safety & Hygiene, Trainee Butchery, Species Identification & Habitat Survey & Assessment, Health and Social Care, Bookkeeping, Event Safety & NEBOSH for businesses wishing to upskill existing staff or train new employees.
Employers enrolling staff on these courses may be eligible for funding of between 70-90 per cent.
Some of these new courses will begin in December, with most starting in January. In addition, some existing Skills Bootcamps providers may also be starting new cohorts soon in other subjects, with full details on the current course page.
All courses are financed through record levels of funding from the Department of Education for Wave 6 of the Skills Bootcamps programme.
Employers of all sizes can access the funding through Hull and East Riding YORtender to create new, bespoke courses, either independently or in partnership with training providers.
This training and development will help plug skills gaps for in-demand sectors to increase company productivity and growth.
Cllr Linda Tock, portfolio holder for Hull Training at Hull City Council, said: “Skills Bootcamps play a vital role in advancing the council’s priorities by driving inclusive economic growth and ensuring that learners can thrive and meet the challenges of tomorrow.
“A skilled workforce is a productive workforce and it is only through giving them the relevant skills, training and support that they can play their part in driving forward the Hull and East Yorkshire economy.
“This latest enrolment is a great opportunity for more businesses to upskill their staff and improve their business.”
