Business Advice for all UK firms from starting a business to flotation

£30m fund available to firms for staff training

Almost £30m is to be made available to UK employers to help train their staff to ensure workers have the right skills for their job.

The money is being made available via the UK government, which is aiming to support firms and ensure employers are continuing to fill positions.

Minister for employment and welfare reform Tony McNulty commented that in the current climate it is essential that all staff have the correct abilities to do their job properly.

Businesses can submit proposals for projects to help staff train in their job. Three of these schemes will then be picked from each region, with each scheme expected to last for up to three years.

The funding announcement follows news that £350 million of government funding is to made available to small firms to train their staff.
