The UK and Scottish Governments are investing up to £2 million to help workers directly impacted by the cessation of refining at Grangemouth transition into new jobs. The Grangemouth Training Guarantee has already supported over 290 workers through training.

The Training Guarantee is still in active delivery, led by Forth Valley College as the training provider and scheme administrator.

These criteria help ensure consistency and fairness, to ensure that all eligible workers can benefit from the Guarantee.
