Is your organisation eligible?
There are not many eligibility criteria organisations need to match prior to submitting applications for funding.
Skillset will welcome your application if:
- Your organisation fits Skillset's definition; please see below
- You are able to show at application stage that your project is financially sound;
- Your organisation is able to secure partnership funding for your project; and
- You have developed or are about to develop training projects or development activities addressing skill areas prioritised in the different Skillset's funding schemes.
The links below provide more information to help you determine if you can apply to the funds. We also recommend that you read the 2010 Funding for organisation guidelines for full details on this year's funding schemes.
What do we mean by "organisation"?
The type organisation you are - your size, shape and how long you have been trading for - will have a bearing on the eligibility criteria applied by the funding programmes and the kind of evidence we will require when assessing applications.
