· Refugees and asylum seekers with permission to work

· Homeless people

· 13-17 year-olds

· Women returning to work

· Women entering traditionally male dominated occupations

The money is made up of £2 million from London Councils' grant programme and £1.6 million from the European Social Fund
The deadline for applications is 12 midday on 5 February 2007.
