How are the bootcamps being received?

92 of these learners have gone on to secure new jobs in the drainage industry and 91% of those have achieved sustained employment. The feedback from employers has been great.
Michael Hearty (Head of Operations at Auger) said - 'We are looking for new starters to join our academy that have already shown a level of commitment and have the basic skills. The Bootcamps are ideal for this', ' I would 100% recommend this scheme to other employers'
