Skills for Growth Wales

Jeff Cuthbert, Wales’ deputy minister for skills, has announced a £30m fund to extend a government scheme supporting the creation of 3,000 jobs over the next three years.

As reported on The Manufacturer, Skills for Growth Wales which heavily focuses on supporting the manufacturing sector, will be re-launched with immediate effect after being awarded £17m from the European Social Fund to match new money provided by the Welsh Government.

The extended programme will provide training support until 31 March 2015 to help a further 200 companies achieve their growth plans, supporting the creation of up to 3,000 extra jobs in Wales.
