What is Training for Success?
Training for Success is designed for young people aged 16 - 18 (up to 24 years for those requiring additional support) and provides training to give them the tools and skills they need to get a job.
This training provides young people with relevant qualifications as well as the required personal and behaviourial skills to progress into work.
Specialist organisations can provide additional support for individuals who require it, for example people with disabilities, so that they can benefit fully from training.
From September 2008 if a young person goes into training through one of the components of Training for Success, they will automatically receive a non means tested Educational Maintenance Allowance (EMA) of £40 per week. If their parent(s) / guardian(s) is in receipt of Income Support, means tested Job Seeker's Allowance or Housing Benefit, that benefit will not be affected by the EMA. If the young person is entitled to one of these benefits in their own right, that benefit will not be affected either. The parent(s) / guardian(s) will also be entitled to receive Child Benefit & Child Tax Credit in respect of the young person provided all other conditions for receipt of the benefits are met.
Training for Success also gives employers the opportunity to develop a workforce with the specific skills to drive their business forward.
