If you are an employer with fewer than 250 employees or a levy payer, you can apply for the FWDF to address skills gaps in your organisation. Applications to access the fund can be made until 31st July 2021.  Training must start before 31^st August 2021 and be completed no later than 31^st March 2022.

You can use this investment to up-skill or re-skill your existing workforce. This is an opportunity to engage and motivate your employees, offer them high quality training of real benefit to your organisation: supporting and enabling your business to become more productive and grow.

In the current climate, we have adapted our methods of delivery to ensure we deliver training to your employees using safe and flexible approaches to support your business needs.  

Our range of specialist, industry specific programmes, normally delivered face-to-face, have now moved on-line, and are currently delivered using a blended and/ or remote model, using easy to access learning technologies.

This adapted approach to learning will provide you with a degree of flexibility to meet your business needs. We will discuss your training needs, support you to identify suitable courses, and the most suitable approach for your employees. We can also support you with the completion of your application.
