At its meeting in December 2005, the Board of Trustees of the Heritage Lottery Fund awarded a total of £7m to fund 10 Training Bursaries Schemes.

The aims of the training bursary scheme are to:

• improve the quality of skills available to the heritage sector by providing new entrants or existing staff with work-based training opportunities
• develop innovative, exemplar training schemes which promote diversity in the workforce
• enable heritage organisations to work in partnership with other agencies; and disseminate good practice.
