  • This includes up to £90m to Local Authorities through Local Employability Partnerships focusing on early intervention and prevention, by providing supported employment opportunities, training and employer recruitment incentives;
  • We have invested up to £30m over 3 years in the college sector, via the Scottish Funding Council, enabling colleges to deliver a wide range of skills boost and Higher National Qualifications for young people;
  • We have allocated over £4 million of funding to third sector organisations in financial year 2022-23 to support those young people who are hardest to reach;
  • Through Developing the Young Workforce, we have also allocated £1.8 million of funding to third sector organisations in financial year 2022/23. This funding supports disabled, care experienced and minority ethnic young people;
