Details

Funding towards learning and development that enables young people and adults to gain additional skills and confidence to enter the labour market.

They support applications that:

  • Work with individuals with complex barriers to employment, enabling them to move closer or into employment, including but not restricted to ex-service personnel and ex-offenders.
  • To work directly with young people and adults who are not in employment, education, or training (NEET), to improve their access to employment and the labour market.
  • Increase the life skills of people so that they may further develop their careers, with a particular focus on the water, utilities, and construction industries.

In 2026 they will be particularly keen to support innovative approaches that highlight new ideas/ways of tackling barriers to training and employment.
