‘Setting the standard high for our next cohort!’
We’re thrilled to share the incredible journey of our first cohort of learners on our NHS Skills Bootcamp. This programme was designed to equip individuals with the skills and knowledge needed to launch or advance their careers.
‘This Skills Bootcamp helped me understand how the NHS works and the opportunities provided to their employees. The skills I gained from this programme will help me be part of such a big organisation.’
– Nayana Mandal
A tailored approach
Our Skills Bootcamp is more than just a training course – it’s a pathway to meaningful careers. Through close collaboration with local employees, we’ve created a programme that not only prepares learners for roles within the NHS but also connects them with tailored career opportunities. At the end of the course, all learners will have the chance to interview with the NHS.
‘Setting the standard high for our next cohort!’
Our learners immersed themselves in a dynamic and engaging curriculum that blended practical, skills with essential knowledge. The highlights of the programme included:
A visit to Southampton General Hospital: Learners had the opportunity to explore a real NHS working environment, gaining insight into day-to-day operations and the various roles available.
‘I have loved everything about this programme, especially the hospital visit and the activities.’ – Richard Biggs
Workshops across NHS sectors: Interactive sessions with professionals from different NHS sectors provided learners with a comprehensive understanding of the wide range of career options in the healthcare field.
‘I found it very interesting learning and understanding what job roles there are in the NHS. And the different types of uniforms each role in the hospital wear and what they do – Liana Coppola
Skills development: Participants built practical knowledge in key areas such as personal care, hygiene and communication, all of which are fundamental skills for anyone wanting to enter a care position.
‘I have found the Skills Bootcamp to be great, the knowledge thats been provided and also everything we learnt about the NHS, and what they can offer.’– Claire O’Sullivan
Mental Health Awareness: Understanding mental health is a crucial part of any care role. Our Skills Bootcamp included dedicated tasks to equip learners with the tools to offer compassionate and effective support.
Interview and CV workshops: To prepare learners for the next step in their journey, we delivered tailored workshops to boost their confidence in interviews and help them better understand CV writing.
‘I liked the interview preparation parts and when we role-played these situations too. I now feel more confident for my job interview.’ – Pui Kwan Pang
A partnership built on impact
What sets our Skills Bootcamp apart is our close partnership with Solent Partners and the NHS by working hand-in-hand. By doing this we can ensure the programme is aligned with real-world needs, bridging the gap between training and employment.
Looking ahead
As our first cohort prepares for their upcoming interviews, we are incredibly proud of their growth and achievements. Their hard work, commitment, and enthusiasm have set the bar high.
