How does it work?
The government established the Adult Education Budget (AEB) as a budget to assist in providing education and training to those 19 years of age and older.
The goal of AEB funding is to get adults interested in learning and give them access to chances for learning so they can advance in their careers, find new jobs, or complete their studies.
How it operates: National funds and combined authorities distribute the Adult Education Budget across the nation.
Employers looking to upskill their staff as well as individuals can access it through nearby institutions and training providers.
