DEVON County Council (DCC) have officially launched the sixth year of its flagship Train4Tomorrow Skills Bootcamps programme.

The programme offers more than 2,000 adults in the region a unique opportunity to upskill or retrain for in-demand jobs.

Backed by government funding as part of the national Skills for Life initiative, this latest wave of Train4Tomorrow will deliver high-quality, employer-designed training across key growth sectors; from construction trade skills, HGV driving, EV charger installation, AI and data skills and early years education.

Courses are available to adults aged 19 or over in Devon and for those looking to move into new employment, there is a guaranteed job interview on completion.

Training is tailored to meet current local vacancies, giving participants a fast track to employment in future-facing industries.

As part of this round of activity, providers are also placing a heightened focus on working with care experienced young people, with a range of ring fenced placements, mentoring opportunities and additional support being offered to assist with the barriers they often face.

There are more than 60 Skills Bootcamps on offer, such as regenerative farming, project management, digital marketing and aircraft engineering skills.

With courses worth up to £3,500, fully funded for individuals, Train4Tomorrow is open to people from all backgrounds; including those returning to work, changing careers, the self-employed, or currently unemployed.

The training is typically designed to be flexible and accessible, delivered over 5–30 hours per week, for up to 16 weeks, in formats including online, blended and in-person.

This wave builds on the success of previous rounds, which have already helped over 4,000 learners into better jobs, new sectors, and long-term career paths.

Employers are also encouraged to get involved, either by upskilling their existing staff or recruiting directly from the pool of job-ready course participants.
