ReAct Funding

The start of an exciting new career.

ReAct Redundancy Scheme is a programme of funding for training provided by the Welsh Assembly Government.

You are eligible if you:

have been redundant in the last six months, are currently unemployed, have not been in continuous employment of six weeks or more since being made redundant

If you need to retrain and gain new skills to help you find a new job the programme gives each individual the opportunity to enrol on Vocational Training Courses, up to a value of £1500.

The ReAct Funding Programme also offers a prospective employer a grant for employing you and further grants towards on-the-job training, once you have started work.
