Funding
As an employer should you find yourself with the unenviable task of making redundancies, TheLightBulb can offer support and training for any "at risk" staff - for more information on Response to Redundancy funding contact Andrea Gregory.
In these uncertain times your staff need better skills than ever before for your business to succeed. When you train your staff, not only does your company gain the benefits of a more competent employee but the economy is strengthened by your ability to compete effectively in the world market.
TheLightBulb's apprentice programme can help you find high quality new recruits who can contribute from day one. Having an apprentice can delivery real returns to your bottom line. Apprentices tend to be eager, motivated, flexible and loyal to the company that invests in them. An apprentice joins an organisation because they have made an active choice to learn on the job and a commitment to a specific career. Contact Lesley Decker or Andrea Gregory for further information.

Train to Gain - The Train East Consortium Funding Page
The Learning and Skills Council with government backing and in collaboration with organisations such as Business Link and Investors in People has created Train to Gain to promote awareness for the need to train the UKOs workforce to a higher level.
Through Train to Gain you can access full funding for your staff to achieve NVQ qualifications at Levels 2 and/or 3 and you can work with TheLightBulb to individualise these packages to the particular needs of your business and employees.
The criteria learners need to meet to be able to take advantage of this funding are as follows:
- Aged 19 or above
- To have been a resident of the UK for more than 3 years and if a non EU national be able to supply proof of right to residency and to work
- To have less than 5 GCSE's of grade C or above, or an existing Level 2 qualification
If you want to know more about this scheme or are unsure if your employees qualify then please contact us and a member of TheLightBulb team will be happy to discuss your funding options either by telephone or face to face.
We offer a diverse selection of NVQs ranging from Health & Social Care and Cleaning, through to Business & Administration and Team Leading, and then onto Carry & Deliver Goods and Distribution & Warehousing. We also have a suite of NVQs for the construction industry. Therefore no matter what sector your company is in we can provide a relevant NVQ for your employees.
Through the consortium we can meet almost every training need of your business. Please do not hesitate to contact us for further information, advice and guidance.
