Skills Bootcamp graduates celebrate

January 31, 2025
Tech graduates celebrated today at a Skills Bootcamp graduation event at Baltic Campus.

A total of 37 students, who have all completed a Skills Bootcamp in Digital training programme, were recognised for passing their course.

They were joined by Kelly Taylor and Cindy Lai from Technology Solutions Group (TSG) who shared their experiences of working in tech.

Bootcamp graduate Cindy, now working as Trainee Consultant at TSG, completed a bootcamp last year. She said, “I work on the Service Desk offering tech support to business clients. I help them with anything from resetting passwords to dealing with security breaches. It’s been great working as part of a team and I’m able to use the skills I learnt on the bootcamp every day in my work.”

The graduates completed courses including AI & Machine Learning, Cybersecurity & Networking, Data Analytics, Full Stack Development, Software Development & Testing & UX/UI.

Deni Chambers, Director of Curriculum and Skills, said: “Every one of these graduates should be really proud of themselves. Bootcamps are intense programmes where you build job specific skills and knowledge in a really short space of time. Cindy is a brilliant example of someone who’s been able to change careers and start a role in tech with a great employer as a result of what she’s learnt. I wish all our graduates the best of luck.”

The Skills Bootcamps courses on offer include AI & Machine Learning, Cloud Solution & Cyber Essentials, Cybersecurity, Data Analytics, Full Stack Development, Software Development & Testing, Virtual Production, Visual Effects (VFX) & User Interface/User Experience.

They are open to adult learners (aged 19+) and are free for anyone who meets the eligibility criteria and is not taking the course through their employer.

The Skills Bootcamps offered by Gateshead College and Partners are funded through North East Combined Authority and the Department for Education.
