What is the ReAct Scheme?
Redundancy Action (ReAct) is a package of support that will assist individuals to gain new skills, overcome obstacles and improve their chances of returning to work in the shortest time possible.
ReAct isn’t just about financial support. The scheme is a partnership between Careers Wales, Jobcentre Plus and the Welsh Government. It’s also about offering plenty of other support and information on all aspects of job hunting.
How much will I get?
At present ReAct offer training grants of up to £1,500. This is to help you get the skills you need to land a job. You can train while you are job hunting or you can go on courses to get the skills you need even if you plan to become self employed eventually.
Travelling expenses and accommodation can also be claimed whilst training.
There’s also a £3,080 wage subsidy for prospective employers, this is a real incentive for any company wishing to take you on.
If any further training requirements are identified following employment, a sum of £1000 can be claimed to assist with this.
