Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many people (a) attended and (b) completed a Skills Bootcamps in each region in the last 12 months.

On 9 November 2023, the department published a statistical release, which shows we exceeded our target, with a total of 40,040 Skills Bootcamps learner starts for the 2022/23 financial year. A start is an instance of training, not the number of individuals trained.

This data release only covers the number of Skills Bootcamps starts. Further breakdowns by region will be provided in the evaluation report, which will be published next year. A further release will be published later next year covering completions and outcomes data for this cohort.

In 2021/22, there were a total of 16,120 Skills Bootcamps learner starts. A data release will be published in early 2024 covering completions and outcomes information for the 2021/22 financial year.
