Funded Training

Government funding for workforce and business

The Government is committed to personal development and education. There is funding available for workforce training and development schemes, subject to a variety of criteria.

When launching the government’s plans to provide additional funding and give greater control to businesses to train even more apprentices, Prime Minister David Cameron said in February 2012:

"Apprenticeships are at the heart of the economy we want to build; one where many more young people have the chance to learn a proper trade; where we have a highly-skilled workforce; where we're not just borrowing and spending huge amounts but really earning our way, making and selling the goods the world wants to buy.

Apprenticeships are a vital thread running through this vision. Over the past 18 months we've put a massive amount of effort and investment into strengthening Apprenticeships in this country - and it shows."
