The Tech Partnership Training fund

What is the Tech Partnership Training Fund?

The Tech Partnership Training Fund provides funding for employers to invest in IT training. The purpose is to stimulate increased investment in training which supports business growth and competitiveness.

This fund is available as a result of a successful bid into the government’s Employer Ownership of Skills Pilot by the Tech Partnership.

What is the funding for? 

Short courses: training in strategically important skills such as cyber security, big data, mobile, cloud and e-commerce.

You may apply for up to 50% of the costs of your training, up to a maximum of £500 per learner for strategic skills short courses.

Is the training I want to invest in eligible for this funding? 

Please check you are eligible before you apply. The main eligibility criteria are as follows: 

• The business is based in England and the training is delivered in England. 
• The training would not have taken place without the support of the fund, and has not already started. 
• The training will help you meet your business objectives.
• For Enhanced Apprenticeships, the training is over and above that covered by the standard Apprenticeship. 
• For short courses, the training is in one of the listed strategically important skills areas or another area of strategic importance to your business.
