TWI Training Bootcamps

TWI currently have funding available under the Technical Wave 5 bootcamp. An initiative from the department of education in Tees Valley (TVCA).

The boot camps are part of the department of education skills for life initiative and help individuals and companies upskill in order to meet the needs of the local economies within Welding and Inspection.
