How Wii Can Help Develop Your Skills and Your Business
"I knew my time had come. My palms were damp, my stomach was turning, and I was so nervous I couldn’t speak. What if I did it really badly? What if everyone laughed at me? What if I was the worst anyone had ever seen?

Funding for Training!

Flexible Training Opportunities

Flexible Training Opportunities gives Scottish businesses with up to 100 employees the opportunity to apply for up to £5,000 towards employee training costs.

Enhancing employees' skills will bring real benefits to your business including improved productivity and a stronger more confident workforce.

We've detailed a list of the types and levels of training that are eligible for support. These are:

Qualifications including individual units
Masterclasses
Learning based on National Occupational Standards
Industry recognised qualifications
Supervisory and management training
Workshops
Taster sessions

Funding is available for up to 10 employees per business and the money is not a loan so there's no need to pay it back. We will refund up to 50% of each episode of employee training up to a maximum of £500 for each employee.

For example, if an episode of training costs £1200 excluding VAT, we will refund £500. If it costs £300 excluding VAT, we will refund £150.

ILA Funding

If the cost of learning is putting you off signing up for a course, help may be at hand. ILA Scotland is a Scottish Government scheme for people over 16, who live in Scotland and have an income of £22,000 a year or less or are on benefits.

It's a great way to pay for learning new skills and because the money isn't a loan, you don't need to worry about paying it back.

There is a wide range of courses on offer from ILA Scotland approved learning providers. So whether you need to brush up on your computer skills or learn something new, we're sure you will find a course to suit you.

For any help or advice with the ILA please contact Carrie Wilson on 0131 221 3191
