The government has committed over £3.8 billion in funding to develop the talent pipeline across vital industries.

This investment includes an expansion of Skills Bootcamps, Apprenticeships, and Free Courses for Jobs, making it easier for people of all ages to gain the experience and qualifications needed to access meaningful work.

For those looking to start a new career or upskill in their current roles, this announcement opens doors. Whether it’s building the homes and infrastructure of tomorrow or caring for our growing and ageing population, opportunities are increasing for those ready to take the next step.

At Pathway Group, we are already aligned with this national mission. Our programmes are focused on developing the skills that employers are looking for—across sectors like health and social care, construction, digital, and manufacturing.

“This announcement reinforces what we’ve always believed at Pathway Group—skills change lives. By investing in the next generation of talent, we’re not just filling vacancies—we’re shaping the future of our communities.”

“We’re proud to play our part in this national effort to rebuild Britain through opportunity, inclusion, and real career progression.”

Martin Chandler, Chief Engagement & Experience Officer at Pathway Group

We understand that transformation happens at a local level. Our delivery partners and training teams work closely with communities, employers, and stakeholders to ensure that training is relevant, accessible, and leads to real career opportunities.

This announcement reinforces our belief in a skills-led recovery and inclusive economic growth. It highlights the importance of:

• Reaching underrepresented groups in employment and education.
• Making training flexible and accessible, including through Skills Bootcamps and modular learning.
• Working in partnership with employers to meet real-world demand.
