We recently announced a £7.4 million pilot scheme to subsidise the cost of AIskills training for SMEs in the Professional Business Services sector.  Of this, £6.4 million of grant funding is available.

Eligible businesses can apply for up to 50% of the cost of AI skills training. This training should support employees to develop their technical skills and/or understanding of AI, helping them develop, deploy, or use AI in their role.

This guidance includes information about the AI Upskilling fund pilot scheme and the application process.
