Individual Training Accounts (ITA) from Skills Development Scotland (SDS) can provide up to £200 towards the cost of a training course, if you meet certain criteria.

You must be:

• 16 or over
• Not in education or involved in any other SDS funded programme
• Resident in Scotland
• Unemployed and looking to get back into work

or

• Employed, earning less than £22,000 per year and looking to progress in or change your job

Use the money to build the skills you need for a job, or get some training to take your career to the next level.

Whatever you want to do, there's a wide range of ITA approved courses on offer, and because it's not a loan, you don't have to pay it back.

Applications close on 30th September.
