Ayrshire Skills Investment Fund
Ayrshire College proudly partners with the Ayrshire Skills Investment Fund (ASIF) as its first official training partner. The £3.5 million fund, launched in October as part of the Ayrshire Growth Deal, offers bespoke, funded courses to support businesses and learners across the region.
ASIF focuses on skills development in key growth sectors such as Engineering, Digital, Clean Growth and the Visitor Economy. The fund will help employers grow and develop their employees and increase skills for Ayrshire residents, linking them to growth sectors and employment opportunities.
Our Business Growth Officers are available to assist employers interested in applying for up to £3,000 per staff member (subject to eligibility criteria) to bridge skills gaps and boost workforce capabilities.
