Return to work stronger with Digital Skills Bootcamps

Has your career taken a back seat?

Whether you’ve taken a break to care for loved ones, start a family, or just try something different for a while, getting back into work can be daunting.

To support experienced professionals returning to their careers, Firebrand Skills Bootcamps are working in partnership with the FDM Group Returners Programme.

What is the FDM Returners Programme?

The FDM Returners Programme offers support to those returning to their professional career after a break.

For this specific opportunity, FDM are looking for individuals with 3-5 years of previous commercial experience, including Business Analysis, Project Management, Project Support, Accounting, Law or Finance.

Professionals are eligible for the program if they’ve taken a minimum of a 1-year career break by September 2023, which can include furlough, unemployment, or working in a different industry.

Why Firebrand?

Completing a Skills Bootcamp with Firebrand can prepare professionals for the roles offered by FDM.

We are currently offering Skills Bootcamps in Software Engineering (Python) and Data Technician.

How does it work?

  1. Complete a 12-week online Skills Bootcamp with Firebrand
  2. Receive industry-recognised certifications and 6 months of employment support from Firebrand
  3. Upon completion of training, receive an interview opportunity with the FDM Returners Programme


Skills Bootcamps in partnership with FDM will run from June 2023, with employment opportunities offered from September 2023 onwards.

Should candidates be successful, roles with FDM’s Ex-Returners Programme are located in Leeds and London on a hybrid basis.
