Lack of funding for training threatens economic recovery, claims learning body

A lack of cash to fund the Train to Gain training scheme is threatening to hamper economic recovery, a trade association has warned. The Association of Learning Providers (ALP), which represents training providers of the scheme, claims that a lack of funding means that many employers are unable to enrol staff on Train to Gain. It adds that most business sectors “are adversely affected” by the shortfall. The Learning and Skills Council (LSC) responded by saying that demand had “increased dramatically” but that it would “deliver 100,000 more starts and learners than planned” between 2008 and 2010.
