Science and Technology Secretary Michelle Donelan launches new push for career-transforming Skills Bootcamps.
- New marketing push for free government-backed Skills Bootcamps promises doubled salary expectations, with average pay packets hitting £70,000 for cloud computing pros
- with demand for cloud and coding skills sky high, bootcamps help participants build skills from scratch and guarantee an interview
- entry-level talent in hot demand as British tech sector still needs junior staff to grow and match superpower ambitions
Skills offered by free government-backed bootcamps can lead to average salaries exceeding £70,000, two and half times the UK average, new research published today has revealed. The findings from Beauhurst also reveal that roles in technology overall pay an average of 55% more the national average.
This comes as the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) launches a drive to get more people to sign up to digital Skills Bootcamps in cloud computing, cybersecurity, software development and more.
The research, published by Barclays Eagle Labs and Beauhurst, and funded by DSIT’s Digital Growth Grant, shows that demand for technology talent surged in 2022 after a slump through the pandemic.
