INTRODUCTION
First launched by the Scottish Government
in 2017, the Flexible Workforce
Development Fund (FWDF) is designed to
allow Scottish employers to upskill and
re-skill their workforce. This will allow
employers to become more productive
and will help with post-COVID economic
recovery. In Year 4 of the fund, levy-paying
employers can access up to £15,000 in
funding, while non-levy paying SMEs can
access up to £5,000. Training under Year
4 of the FWDF can run until the 31st of
March 2022.
Do you want to maximise the impact of
the FWDF on your business but don't
know where to start? Our Business
Development team have compiled some
suggested training opportunities for you,
and are ready to help take you through
the application process. This brochure is
not intended to be exhaustive so please
contact us for bespoke delivery, tailored to
your organisation.
The Flexible Workforce Development Fund
can be used to book spaces on existing
scheduled courses, or to create bespoke
training solutions to meet the specific
needs of your business.
Courses can be delivered online, at City
of Glasgow College or at your premises.
Some courses that require specialist
facilities and equipment may have to
run at the college and delivery at your
premises is dependent on a suitable
training room.
Due to the current situation with
COVID-19 the college will by default try
to deliver accredited training courses
using a blended learning approach where
students will only be on campus (or tutors
out at client premises) as necessary. The
Business Development Officer helping
with your application will be able to advise
on the available attendance models,
taking into account prevailing advice from
the Scottish Government and other public
health bodies at the time.
