Employer Supporters

Tech Lancaster is an innovative intensive Skills Bootcamp operating across England that aims to help engage, upskill and connect new workforce talent to the electech, electronics and tech engineering industries across the United Kingdom. As part of the UK Government Skills for Life funding programme, our Employer Support services are entirely FREE to companies looking for new employees aged 19+, making huge savings against the cost of using expensive recruiters or similar.

Whilst we are called Tech Lancaster as we were founded with the initial aim of supporting the sector around Lancaster in north west England, we have now expanded our activities to include all corners of the United Kingdom – from Cumbria to Cornwall – to help our UK electronics and electech industry rapidly grow to meet demand and counter the global skills shortage in the sector.

Our participants have undertaken a 12-week intensive Skills Bootcamps in electronics/electech at various levels (NQF Level 3 and Level 5) and they are keen to start a new career in a variety of areas – from manufacturing operatives, to production engineering and design technicians, and junior electronics designers as well as support roles such as technical sales, technical procurement and similar.

Our Skills Bootcamps were created by industry, for industry, and we continue to be guided by our industry founders who have decades of technical experience and knowledge of what makes a great electech workforce.

What Learning and Skills have Participants Gained ?

During the bootcamp, participants have undertaken a variety of tutor led learning – from electech and electronics industry basics, foundation electronics theory, and manufacturing know-how, to practical soldering workshop and circuit building labs and programming firmware (Arduino) – in our intensive 12 week format we cover all the key areas to help propel fresh talent into the industry.

We also award globally recognised certification in PCB assembly, inspection and repair/rework (IPC 610/JSTD/7711 etc) as well as nationally recognised qualifications (UK NQF Level 3 or 5 award). Our advanced Skills Bootcamps include more complex aspects of electronics and electech development more suited to design and advanced roles.

On completing our Skills Bootcamps our participants all leave as confident potential employees of electech companies, with technical skills, a practical can-do attitude, and enthusiasm.
