How to access new business development fund

Midlothian and East Lothian Chamber of Commerce (MELCC) host an e-business breakfast on February 25 from 9:30am to 10:30am to give attendees the opportunity to bring networking back into their lives through virtual breakout rooms.

Attendees will also have an opportunity to share a 60-second pitch with fellow participants.

Liam Conway of Edinburgh College will provide an update on the recently-launched Flexible Workforce Development Fund.

A spokesman for MELCC said: “As the Scottish economy begins to recover and rebuild in the years ahead, training and developing your employees will be critically important.

“To support this, The Scottish Government and Scottish Funding Council have announced an extension to the Flexible Workforce Development Fund, giving SMEs the opportunity to access up to £5,000 worth of training at Edinburgh College. You can find out how to access this fund by attending.”
