ILA Scotland
Learning a new skill in a competitive industry like hospitality is a rewarding decision and an invaluable asset to have.
However, for some of us, finding the extra funds to pay for a new qualification can be easier said than done.
Thankfully, if you are resident in Scotland you may be eligible for funding as part of a scheme that pays for education courses and qualifications.
ILA Scotland is a Government run scheme that covers the cost of learning for those on an income of £22,000 a year or less as well as those who are on benefits.
What's more – unlike other forms of funding – an ILA grant isn't a loan which means you don't have to start paying it back at the end of your course.
Applying to ILA Scotland couldn't be easier and could help you climb the career ladder, earn more money as well as do something you really enjoy.
