Flexible Training Opportunities
Flexible Training Opportunities gives businesses with under 75 employees the opportunity to apply for up to £5,000 towards employee training costs.
Managed by Skills Development Scotland (SDS) and supported by the European Social Fund, it aims to help small businesses become more resilient and to boost productivity and success.
Funding is available for up to 10 employees per business and the money is not a loan so there's no need to pay it back.
SDS will refund 50% of the cost of up to 10 training courses with a maximum value of £500 per course. And it’s flexible, so 10 employees can do one course each or one employee can do 10 courses, with any combination in between.
It effectively means businesses can double their training investment. Or it might help them introduce some training when they thought it wouldn’t be possible.
The application process is simple and the rewards can really make a difference. Click here to find out more and to apply. For further advice, call free on 0800 783 6000.
