41 be a little-known new initiative from the government which also effectively does

43 scheme to persuade us of the value of whole life-long learning. The first million

44 people to apply -and there appears to be a long way to go before this limit is

45 reached---are eligible for a /150 grant towards the costs of studying ,but provided

46 that they contribute at least / 25 of their own money . Even the offer covers

47 training courses which are obviously work-related but it also extends to more of

48 recreational activities . Whilst there will not be government money to encourage

49 you, for example, to do an evening class in the cake decorating, there could be

50 assistance if you are planning to update on your internet skills. There is also

Enthusiasm in ensuring we are prepared for the digital world.
