I may have got the scheme name wrong, but in 1980 I attended the Control Data Institute Programming Technology course (Assembler, COBOL, and RPG2, and some basic Systems Analysis) - it was for 18-25 year olds looking to re-train, and was funded by whatever the JobCentre was called in those days.
Update - it came back to me; it was a TOPS (Training Opportunities Scheme) course.
I had just left the RAF, and there wasn't much call in Civvy Street for someone who could speak Russian, take morse at 45 wpm, and had a markman's badge...
