Skills Support for Business

Rural  Employers’  Toolkit

Help for Scotland’s rural businesses to recruit and grow the skills they need is in the spotlight thanks to a new guide being published for the first time. The Rural Employers’ Toolkit offers practical guidance on training, apprenticeships and placement support for rural businesses across all sectors of the economy.

The toolkit provides excellent advice on recruiting and supporting apprentices and other trainees and funding sources.
And locally Soirbheas can help financially too. If you are interested in recruiting a young person as an apprentice in our area see our Apprenticeship Programme where you could be awarded up to £22,500 over three years, plus £1000 towards PPE and equipment.
