“Before joining the Skills Bootcamp I had never worked in construction. The tutors explained the retrofit industry clearly and helped me prepare my CV and interviews. Through the employer connections arranged during the course I secured an interview with a local insulation company and started work as a Retrofit Installer shortly after completing the Skills Bootcamp.”
“I wanted to move into the green sector but didn’t know where to start. The Skills Bootcamp gave me a great understanding of energy efficiency and retrofit projects. The team helped me prepare for interviews and introduced me to employers working in the sector. After finishing the programme I secured a role supporting energy efficiency assessments.”
“The course was really informative and gave me a strong understanding of retrofit installations and construction processes. The careers support helped me apply for roles in the sector and within a few weeks of finishing the Skills Bootcamp I secured work with a company delivering insulation and retrofit projects.”
