ReAct Plus Grant application process

The first thing that you will need to do is contact a Careers Wales Officer explaining your situation and possibly the courses that you have chosen to do. Your Careers Wales officer will guide you through the process and write up a training plan. You will then be able to apply for React Funding for courses and training to help you attain employment.

If you need to retrain and gain vital skills to help you to find a new job, the Welsh  Government can offer you a discretionary vocational training award and pay 100% of your training fees (up to a maximum of £1,500 as from the 1st April 2011). Additional funding can also be accessed to help towards extra costs associated with training such as travel, accommodation, and childcare. The React award is for training that takes place while you are under notice of redundancy or after you have been made redundant but must be undertaken before you start a new job.

Funding for your New Employer

ReAct Funding also provides a ‘carrot’ for your prospective employer. As an added incentive for employing you, they can access a contribution of £3,000 towards the cost of your wages. By saving a potential new employer thousands of pounds, you have an even better chance of finding a new job!

So contact a Careers Wales Advisor to discuss any aspect of the ReAct+ funding process – we’ll spend time with you to review your individual situation to draw up a training plan to suit your personal need.
