We are passionate about giving people the skills they need to get the job and career they want and it’s great that thanks to Government funding, these Skills Bootcamps are also free.

Charlotte Miller, Delivery Manager at The Growth Company, said:

“The courses have been built with the input of employers and learner feedback, so we fully understand where the skills gaps are that will support future employment and upskilling.

“Our focus is that the courses provide a positive learning experience and achievement. With that in mind we not only provide interactive learning from an experienced tutor, knowledge and information based on real life scenarios, but also welfare and employability sessions to promote growth.

“We are proud to deliver our courses to the people of Greater Manchester “
