Skills Bootcamps for Londoners
The Mayor has secured £21.6 million grant funding from the Department for Education (DfE) to deliver Skills Bootcamps in London in 2024-2025.
What are Skills Bootcamps?
Skills Bootcamps aim to help Londoners aged 19+ to enter employment, upskill or change career and are open to adults who are full-time or part-time employed, self-employed or unemployed, as well as adults returning to work after a break.
Bootcamp training courses provide access to in-demand sector specific skills training and provide a guaranteed job interview on completion. In addition to technical training, learners will also receive guidance on entering professional working environments to fully prepare them for new roles.
The Skills Bootcamps for Londoners programme supports Londoners to gain in demand skills and move into jobs in 11 priority skills sectors:
- Green skills
- Digital skills
- Construction
- Creative
- Health and Social Care
- Logistics (HGV)
- Technical (Engineering and Manufacturing)
- Professional Services
- Hospitality
- Early Years
Skills Bootcamps are an important part of the Mayor’s commitment to support Londoners to progress into good quality jobs paying at least the London Living Wage.
Bootcamps last up to 16 weeks and will focus on higher level training (Level 3 – 5), apart from the green, construction, and logistics (HGV) sectors which can include Level 2 training. Delivery is either in-person or a hybrid model of online and in-person.
Information for training providers
All training providers must have a valid UKPRN at the point of delivery of Skills Bootcamps.

Information for employers
I believe in what these bootcamps are doing, and I'm excited to be part of it.
Bootcamps can help employers find new, diverse talent to help futureproof their business, saving costs from other traditional recruitment routes. The programme aims to fill gaps in skills shortages to help employers recruit and upskill existing employees.
The most successful Bootcamps are co-designed by employers alongside training providers to directly address their needs and key challenges with specific job roles. This can be reflected in learners’ training throughout the duration of their Bootcamps course.
If you are an employer who wants to recruit skilled Londoners or would like to find out more about how you can upskill your existing workforce, please get in touch with our team [email protected] to learn more about our programme and how to get involved.

I can honestly say I don’t think I’d be where I am today without this programme. I would do it all over again if I had the chance – a life changing experience.
