Funding Opportunities

Our Skills for Employment programmes aim to support Grangemouth residents who are unemployed, economically inactive or facing barriers to employment. These short, practical courses are designed to help you build confidence, develop new skills and gain workplace experience - supporting progression into employment, a Modern Apprenticeship, or further learning.

These programmes are subject to Scottish Government funding approval through the Grangemouth Just Transition Fund. You can submit an Expression of Interest, but this does not guarantee a place.
