Are small businesses able to apply for government money to help pay for employee training?

Many companies can qualify for government money, in some form or another, to help pay for their training programmes, especially if the company is focusing on training certain segments of society. For example, you may qualify for grants to train the underemployed or skill development education workers for a new field of study, rather than just retraining your existing staff. The government would obviously like to see actual growth in employment, and the right training programmes could allow for that.
