B2C Skills Bootcamp Contract

 

Northcoders (AIM:CODE), a UK market leading technology training business, is
pleased to announce that the Company has won a new B2C training contract under
the Skills Bootcamps for Londoners Programme (Wave 6), managed by the Greater
London Authority ('GLA').

The £0.25 million contract will fund 31 bootcamp seats, in Software
Development with AI, supporting individuals to develop advanced digital and
technical skills to help address the growing demand for technology talent in
London.  The sizeable contract reflects Northcoders' reputation as a leading
technology trainer in the UK.

 

As previously announced, following the new Government's decision to move from
national to regional funding, the Board took the decision to only utilise
Government funded training bootcamps when it supports the expansion of
Counter®, the Group's B2B consultancy division, through the provision of
skilled technologists post-graduation. The GLA contract will directly underpin
Counter's launch into the London market by creating a high-calibre pool of
Counter Consultants aligned to its growth needs.

In preparation for this next phase, Northcoders has commenced a search for an
experienced commercial leader to oversee Counter's launch and growth in the
region. The market opportunity is significant and the Company is confident
that its strong proposition, supported by competitive and transparent pricing
that enables it to challenge both nearshore and offshore alternatives, while
delivering higher quality and greater client value.

 

Chris Hill, CEO of Northcoders, commented: "We are delighted to secure our
first GLA contract and begin our partnership with the Skills Bootcamps for
Londoners Programme. As we outlined in our recent results announcement, our
strategy is to be highly selective in the training contracts we deliver,
ensuring they act as a direct engine for our B2B consultancy division's
growth.   AI and digital transformation are rapidly reshaping the workforce
driving corporate demand for senior technologists and London will be at the
heart of this change.

 

"This award reflects both the reputation we have built for delivery excellence
and the trust of government stakeholders in our capability. It also provides a
launch platform for Counter® in London, supported by a strong new talent pool
and the appointment of a new commercial lead. We are excited to take Counter
to market in London with a differentiated and scalable proposition that can
compete strongly with both nearshore and offshore models."
