Northcoders has partnered with Lancashire Skills & Employment Hub to offer 24 fully funded places on its Software Development in JavaScript Skills Bootcamp.
The places are exclusively for Lancashire residents and are being funded by Lancashire Skills & Employment Hub as part of the Skills for Life – Skills Bootcamps Scheme.
This beginner-friendly course, which runs full-time over 13 weeks, is open to anyone who lives in Lancashire, has been fully resident in England for at least three years and was aged 19 or over before 31st August 2024.
The programme curriculum has been curated so it is based on what employers actually use, from HTML and CSS to JavaScript and real-world tools like Git and APIs.
Its aim is to prepare graduates for immediate employment in the tech sector and will teach learners the mechanics of code within a week.
In weeks two and four, participants will focus on essential concepts and best practices for a successful career in tech, before focusing on back-end development in weeks five and six,
Week seven will be about integration; weeks eight and nine will be dedicated to front-end; weeks 10, 11 and 12 will herald the project phase; and then the final week will move onto career support, job searching and networking.
Since Northcoders was established nine years ago, it has trained over 4,000 graduates. It now works with over 400 hiring partners including the BBC, Wren Kitchens, Sykes Holiday Cottages, and Debenhams.
“We are delighted to be partnering with Lancashire Skills & Employment Hub on this programme,” said Chris Hill, CEO of Northcoders.
“Fully funded skills bootcamps allow people from all backgrounds to change their lives and pursue careers in tech which would otherwise be hard to do.
“Our primary aims are to deliver a world-class curriculum that is based solidly on what industry demands, and for every graduate to leave equipped with the skills they need to thrive.”
