Personal Learning Account Fund

The Priority Sectors Personal Learning Account Fund has been developed to enable upskilling within priority sectors in the local labour market. Training participants have the opportunity to get new skills and qualifications that will help them take a step closer to employment or enhance their current employability prospects.

This fund is aimed at all people aged 18 and over, resident within the Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council area and with a legal right to work in the UK. The programme will fund up to £500 training per participant.

Causeway Coast and Glens Labour Market Partnership (LMP) is a new, DfC funded programme established to address key challenges in the local labour market. The programme aims to improve employability outcomes and labour market conditions locally by delivering a tailor-made action plan reflecting local conditions and needs. The LMP will support the delivery of Employability NI and as such will work closely with people that are unemployed, under-employed or needing to upskill. The LMP will also work closely with local employers who are looking to attract talent to their business. The Priority Sectors Personal Learning Account Fund has been developed to enable participants to gain new skills and qualifications to secure employment, or to progress in their current employment.

Please note this is a rolling call for applications and will remain open until 31st January 2025 at 10am, or the budget is expended.
