Training: Cambridgeshire
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, with reference to the National Infrastructure and Service Transformation Authority Major Projects Annual Report 2025 to 2026, Tables, Skills Bootcamps, by when will the Work Based Skills Directorate expand the devolution of delivery to the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority.
Answered by Department for Work and Pensions
In line with its commitment to devolution, the government is giving local areas greater control over the delivery of Skills Bootcamps, enabling them to tailor the offer to the needs of local employers and their priorities for the economy.
Skills Bootcamps are now funded through local areas and, as of the 2026/27 academic year, Skills Bootcamps funding in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority is not ringfenced and combined with funding for the Adult Skills Fund.
