New digital boot camps under way to boost skills of future
The latest round of skills boot camps for people looking to get back into employment have begun.

The boot camps are a key part of the West Midlands Combined Authority’s plans to implement its Digital Roadmap, which sets out five missions to digitise the region, including becoming the UK’s best digitally-connected region and increasing access to digital opportunities by tackling digital exclusion.
Training has begun for nearly 300 local people in the skills local employers need to fill vacancies now and in the future, with further boot camps due to start between now and June.
West Midlands Mayor Andy Street said: "Retraining and upskilling have such critical roles to play in our region’s economic recovery from the coronavirus pandemic, and are a cornerstone of my jobs plan to help 100,000 people into work in the next two years.
