Funded by the European Social Fund.
The Pathways Training Fund (PTF) provides grants to SMEs & Social Enterprises (including Community Interest Companies) in Norfolk and Suffolk. It is managed by Suffolk County Council in partnership with Norfolk County Council and a network of local training providers.

The PTF aims to help firms adapt to the changing nature of work and be more resilient to the pressures facing business. That is why the scheme will fund areas that combine to offer skills businesses need to remain agile and competitive.
Up to 75% of staff training costs for multiple employees will be covered, with maximum grants of £500 per employee / £3,000 per employer.
