WE4 Employability

Capability and Capacity Grant 2018 / 2019

In May 2018 a new Capability & Capacity grant was made available for the 2018/19 academic year to enable schools and colleges to implement the new national Careers strategy.

The deadline for applications to this fund is 31 October 2018. 

The guidance and application form are available in the grant funding area of the website here.

Please note that any proposed activity must contribute to the development of the school / college capabilities or capacity to provide enhanced careers support for several years. Activity such as pupil visits and the purchase of annual careers software licences are not eligible as it is not sustainable without further funding.
