Funding sources to support training and workforce development

There are number of potential funding sources available to employers, employees and individuals to support training and development. Please read the Funding for training report for further information.

 

There are two newly appointed Intermediate Administration Bodies designated to administer the 2007-13 Structural Funds programmes in Scotland:

 

• For Lowlands and Uplands Scotland, ESEP Ltd: http://www.esep.co.uk
• For the Highlands and Islands, Highlands and Islands (Scotland) Structural  Funds Partnership Ltd: http://www.hipp.org.uk

 

The Intermediate Administration Bodies are the principal bodies to provide advice and assistance to applicants.

 

The way funding is distributed varies. Some funding is allocated directly to organisations whilst other funding can be applied for by individuals and organisations. Whilst all of the funding resources listed can potentially benefit training and development of the social services workforce we have outlined who the funding is available to.

It may also be helpful to contact your local enterprise companies to find out what support, funding or training they may be able to offer you or your organisation.
