Hadyard Hill Education and Training Fund (Pinwherry and Pinmore)

This fund provides bursaries to residents of Pinwherry and Pinmore Community Council area to help them access training and education opportunities that better equip them with the range of skills needed to enter or retain employment. The purpose is to improve the opportunities and livelihoods of people living in Pinwherry and Pinmore, geographically defined by the community council boundary. Courses leading to formal or recognised qualifications will be favoured, however other courses will also be considered where applicants can demonstrate how the skills and knowledge gained will realistically support them in securing or retaining a job. Apprentices can also apply, provided it is for a cost they cannot claim back from their employer or another agency. Courses supported can be on a full time or part-time basis and may include Apprenticeships, Modern Apprenticeships, Foundation Apprenticeships, SVQs, NCs, HNCs, HNDs, short vocational courses and many others.
