Sir Oliver Heald MP is alerting all small and medium sized businesses in his constituency to grants available from the European Social Fund to provide £800 per learner, for up to three learners, to undergo Basic Skills training in English and maths. The total fund is worth £50m pounds, but is only available until next year.
Sir Oliver said, ‘I congratulate the National Consortium of Colleges and Providers for raising awareness of this important information. It is advantageous for a business to ensure that all employees have a decent level of Maths and English. I would encourage businesses in North-East Hertfordshire to consider whether they are eligible for these grants.'
