Scheme expands for hospitality sector

A government scheme has extended to target relocation of employees in the hospitality sector.

The amendment to the Department for Enterprise's Finanical Assistance Scheme (FAS) extends the eligible roles able to receive financial assistance in the tourism and hospitality industry in certain positions.

It comes following discussion between government officials and members of the sector over challenges faced in recruiting skilled roles.

Businesses wishing to apply for it are invited to contact the DfE.
