Text
There was already significant engagement before the fund opened. I think that there have been over 200 sessions with over 200 stakeholders across education, training, employers, industry and the voluntary and community sectors.
Those sessions were intended to help to raise awareness of the fund and encourage participation.
As I said, the fund has opened. The application window will be open for six weeks and will close on 6 December. I encourage all elected public representatives who have an interest in the area to make sure that they spread the word among their constituents.
