Skills for Employment 2018-2020 - additional £600k confirmed

When the Skills for Employment programme was introduced in early 2015, £2.4 million was available to fund activity until the end of the 2017/18 academic year. All of that funding was allocated by the end of 2017 and will be spent by August 2018.

In February 2018, Warwickshire County Council (WCC) confirmed an additional £600,000 would be available for Skills for Employment from April 2018 to August 2020. The programme specification for the 2018/19 academic year is available on our website. It includes information on a new Capability & Capacity match-funded grant to help enable schools and colleges to meet the requirements of the new national careers strategy. Details and the application form for the grant are also available in the Latest News area of our website here:
