    Brief

    This is an opportunity to deliver Skills Bootcamps across Essex, Thurrock, and Southend. The programme responds to local economic demands by offering sector-specific training aligned with Essex's Local Skills Improvement Plan (LSIP). Delivery partners must meet reporting requirements for both the Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA) and the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP)/Department for Education (DfE) to secure funding. The bootcamps cover all sectors identified in the LSIP and are available to providers across the entire region. This is Wave 7 of the Skills Bootcamps initiative.
