New Funding Opportunity

Posted on Monday 08 February 2010

Scottish organisations of all sizes and in all sectors are to be given the opportunity to receive £1000 to take on a new apprentice. There are 4000 of these apprenticeships available for Scotland. This scheme is open to our sector for all ages of apprentice in both health and social care and childcare, however, and is available for exisiting employees.

Skills Development Scotland (SDS), Scotland's national skills agency, will play a leading role in taking forward the delivery of the initiatives that ScotAction will deliver for Scotland at this time. If you are interested, please contact SDS on 0808 100 8095, for more information, or simply download an application form. Successful employers will then be linked with a local training provider who will deliver the modern apprenticeship training for you.

Please note: this scheme is time limited and will run until 26 March 2010.

**There has been huge demand for this fund- so please apply quickly to avoid disappointment**
