DCELLS' ProAct scheme aims to provide training to 'struggling' businesses in the current economic downturn
DCELLS' ProAct is a new pilot scheme which was announced at
the 3rd
Economic Summit on the 5th December 2008. The scheme seeks to provide
training assistance to businesses that are suffering during the
economic downturn, but who otherwise were inherently viable. The scheme
runs on a selective basis, and provides financial support for employees
to undertake training and, as an innovative new measure, also provides
support towards wage costs whilst training is underway. The scheme is
flexible and designed to meet the needs of individual businesses.
Funding of up to £2,000 per individual is available to
support
training, and a further £2,000 for a wage subsidy whilst this
training is being undertaken.
