A leadership and management bootcamp with 90% funding has returned for Kirkby residents, Knowsley Chamber announced this week. Delivered by Three Dimensional Training in Liverpool, the seven-session programme leads to a Level 3 accreditation from the Chartered Management Institute.

Face-to-face sessions are designed to build confidence and strengthen everyday leadership skills. Eligible small and medium-sized enterprises in the Liverpool City Region pay just £136 per person, while job seekers and employees can secure fully funded or subsidised places. The course sits within the government’s Lifetime Skills Guarantee, backing the borough’s wider push to raise workforce standards.

The bootcamp returns after a previous cohort reported sharp gains in confidence and delegation, with every learner saying they would recommend the experience. One past participant said the programme helped step fully into a management role and increased a sense of accountability. The region’s combined authority has secured £11.2m for free Skills Bootcamps, targeting 6,500 learners across sectors from construction to health and social care.
