Training for Work provides training support for people who are unemployed and actively looking for work.  The programme, funded by Skills Development Scotland (SDS), allows people to undertake training linked to local labour market opportunities, enabling individuals to secure worthwhile, sustainable employment.

Training for Work is open to adults 18 years and over, who have been unemployed for at least 13 weeks.  However there are exceptions to this.  Contact your local Jobcentre Plus office for details of eligibility.

Participants will be paid a training allowance equivalent to their benefits plus £10 per week.

The programme is aimed at helping people find and retain jobs and even start up their own business.
