Each levy-paying employer can apply for access to training to a value of

up to £10,000 in 2017/18

The Scottish Funding Council (SFC) has announced that from 11th September 2017, employers paying the Apprenticeship Levy can apply for support from the Flexible Workforce Development Fund (FWDF)

♦ The FWDF provides employers paying the Apprenticeship Levy with workforce development training to up-skill and re-skill current workforces

♦ The fund is in addition to apprenticeship support which all employers are eligible to access in Scotland

♦ The fund is only accessible by applying to Scottish regional colleges and Scotland’s Rural College and is worth £10m across Scotland

♦ The fund is NOT available for training required by law

Get your applications in as soon as possible- the deadline to apply for funding is 30th June 2018.

Funds are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis
