The UKSPF (UK Shared Prosperity Fund) People & Skills programme offers individuals opportunities to gain a brighter future through upskilling and/or gaining employment.
The programme is designed to support people who are economically inactive, meaning those who are without work and not in receipt of benefits, or those out of work but in receipt of certain health-related benefits. It's for adults aged 19 right up to retirement.
