“Nottingham College is thrilled to be a chosen partner in the delivery of the Skills Bootcamp programme. Colleges, and the FE sector more broadly, have a fundamental role in steering the UK’s economic recovery post-Covid. In partnering with this project we are providing local people with the digital skills necessary to help them adapt to the changing needs of employers and improve their current and future employment prospects. Better still we can accelerate our city’s recovery from what has been an incredibly difficult time for us all.”
John Cusworth, Director of GBS Ltd, said:
“The suite of programmes developed to support employers in the D2N2 region present a great opportunity for workforces to enhance and grow their digital infrastructure. In a society that’s becoming more and more digitalised, now is the perfect time to embrace the digital era to ensure businesses are maximising their digital and IT capabilities and are adequately resourced.”

Dimple Khagram, CEO at Purple Beard, said:
“At Purple Beard we believe in transforming education based on the challenges we face as part of the 4th Industrial revolution. As Ken Robinson said, ‘The fact is that given the challenges we face, education doesn’t need to be reformed — it needs to be transformed. The key to this transformation is not to standardise education, but to personalise it, to build achievement on discovering the individual talents of each person, to put students in an environment where they want to learn and where they can naturally discover their true passions.”
