ReAct Funding

The Redundancy Action Scheme ( ReAct) is a programme of funding for training provided by the Welsh Assembly Government for people living in Wales who are facing redundancy. The scheme can also help Employers who are downsizing their business or are recruiting staff.

Who is eligible?

Those who have become unemployed in the last six months as a result of redundancy, are currently unemployed, and who have not been in continuous employment for 6 weeks or more since being made redundant. Or those that are currently under notice of redundancy and have not undertaken any publicly funded training since being made redundant, including the work-based learning suite of programmes. 

What is available?

There are 3 elements to ReAct:-

	Recruitment & Training Support
	Discretionary Award - Vocational Training
	Discretionary Award - Miscellaneous

Support is available for eligible applicants to increase their skills and remove barriers to learning, or returning to work. In order to ensure that this training provides the best possible chance of finding new employment, all applicants will need to have their training needs assessed by Careers Wales. Careers Wales will also advise on suitable training courses and training venues. Under this part of the scheme the following financial support is available: -

	100% of training costs to acquire new skills (up to a maximum of £2,500)
	Help with the cost of special equipment required for training
	Reimbursement of travel costs to training courses
	Overnight accommodation costs, where appropriate
	A contribution towards the cost of materials required for training
	Reimbursement of childcare costs (subject to limits and conditions).

GO Wales

Graduates employed in SMEs* in Wales can access the GO Wales Graduate Training and Development Fund to help with the cost of training.

For example

If you are looking to undertake the City & Guilds 7303 - PTLLS  course with us and are a graduate employed in an SME (small to medium-sized enterprise) in Wales, you can get £312.50 worth of funding for the course if you study for the Level 4 qualification.

The course would then cost you just £312.50+VAT instead of meeting the full cost of £695 yourself.
