As part of the Government’s plan for growth, Ministers are taking action to make it easier for companies to take on apprentices, and ensure that the quality of apprenticeships is continually improved. He told businesses in London today that the Government would slash the red tape that can deter hard pressed firms from taking on apprentices, and provide a financial incentive to help the smallest firms recruit their first young apprentices.

Following the release of the latest labour market statistics, it is clear that redundancy is still affecting many businesses in the current economic climate, regardless of sector.

But help is still available until mid December this year to support the employees of businesses that are faced with redundancy, thanks to workforce development specialists TCHC.  The company’s Response to Redundancy programme assists businesses to give their staff a head start in finding new employment. The package includes advice, guidance and re-training opportunities to help individuals prepare for a new job, a new career path or a business start-up after redundancy.

We have published a list of Community Grants projects currently active by County. If you'd like to know which projects are running in your area, please visit our Current Projects page.
