Old Luce Education and Training Fund

This fund provides bursaries to residents of the Old Luce 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 Old Luce. Priority is given to courses leading to formal or recognised qualifications, though other courses will be considered where applicants can demonstrate how the skills and knowledge gained will realistically support securing or retaining employment. Participation in a wide range of courses can be funded including Modern Apprenticeships, HGV Licence Training, Foundation Apprenticeships, HNC, HND, undergraduate degrees and post-graduate qualifications (though not PhDs). Awards can cover course fees, study aids and equipment, technical aids, travel costs, accommodation costs, and driving lessons with practical and theory tests.
