Can these schemes be combined?
- CCP + SFEC. Often used together, with SFEC offsetting residual company costs.
- CCP + JGI. Not for the same staff and same period. You cannot double claim salary support.
- Job Redesign Grant. May be layered with CCP if criteria are met and roles are clearly defined.
Which scheme to prioritise?
- Use CCP when you redesign a role or reskill staff into growth functions.
- Use SFEC to reduce cash outlay on training and advisory.
- Legacy JGI is only relevant for employers that still have qualifying hires from earlier years.
