<p>We have now published the outcome data from wave 1 of the Skills Bootcamps, delivered
between September 2020 and 31 March 2021. This outcome data shows that Skills Bootcamps
are supporting individuals to access new opportunities and are helping them progress
in their careers.</p><p>Between September 2020 and March 2021, over 2000 participants
completed a Skills Bootcamp, of which at least 54% of individuals achieved a positive
outcome as a result. A positive outcome is defined as a new full or part time job
or apprenticeship, a new role, or increased responsibilities with their current employer.
For the self-employed, a positive outcome is defined as access to new opportunities.</p><p>In
addition to these recorded outcomes, published research for wave 1 of the Skills Bootcamps
highlights that three quarters of learners felt the training met or was meeting their
needs, and 79% were satisfied with their course overall.</p><p>A guaranteed interview
is a key part of the Skills Bootcamps offer in wave 2 and for all future delivery.
Detailed data about attended job interviews is not available as part of outcomes data
from wave 1 of the Skills Bootcamps. However, the department is currently commissioning
impact evaluations for waves 2 and 3 of the Skills Bootcamps, which will provide further
evidence and learning to inform future delivery. We are working with providers in
wave 2 of the programme to ensure they provide consistent and accurate data.</p><p>
