Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, whether his Department has made an assessment of the effectiveness of engineering Skills Bootcamps funded by the West Midlands Combined Authority in supporting young people who are not in education, employment or training into sustained employment or apprenticeships.

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.
