Up to 2,400 parents will be able to access training at colleges across Scotland to enter or progress in work.
As part of the Scottish Government’s mission to eradicate child poverty, a total of £10 million is being invested in the college sector through the Raising Income through Skills and Education (RISE) initiative. This helps families at the greatest risk of poverty to access the skills and education they need to enter, sustain and progress in work.
Alongside training courses, the project will unlock additional support with childcare and transport costs to remove access barriers.
