£3m to retrain jobless Scots
THOUSANDS of people hit by redundancy are to benefit from a £3 million training scheme, it has been announced.
The cash, from the European Social Fund, will help 3,150 people, education secretary Fiona Hyslop said.
She claimed: "More individuals than ever in Scotland will be able to benefit from government support in training to find employment.
"This is a hugely flexible offer.
People will be able to get financial support of hundreds of pounds to thousands, depending on what training is right for them."
Ms Hyslop announced the skills regeneration plan during a visit to a training operation in Edinburgh.
