Skillnet Announcement
It is with pleasure that we are in a position to confirm that the IPPA
will be receiving funding from Skillnets for training for this year.
The funding procedure and requirements from Skillnets was different
this year and required that we join forces with two other existing
Networks (the Bakers and the Butchers) the new network will trade under
the name of United Crafts Skillnet.
In the coming weeks we will circulate the proposed training programme and how it will work this year, as there have been changes in the funding requirement.
