The Scottish Government's £30 billion plus Budget is set to be passed by MSPs.
Finance Secretary John Swinney has been meeting opposition politicians to see if he can achieve cross-party agreement for his spending plans for the coming year.
Labour, Lib Dems and the Tories have been calling on the Finance Secretary to find more cash for housing and colleges.
The Finance Secretary could make some concessions to them in a bid to win their support for his proposals. But with the SNP having an overall majority at Holyrood following last May's elections, he does not need to do this.
Mr Swinney said that he had "listened carefully to the points that opposition parties have made" and that Tuesday's Cabinet meeting had been "finalising the details of the Budget".
The Budget Bill for 2012-13 includes resources to deliver 25,000 modern apprenticeships and a guaranteed training or learning opportunity for every 16 to 19-year-old.
It also proposes to bring in a new public health levy, which would bring in a charge for large retailers selling alcohol and tobacco.
Labour finance spokesman Ken Macintosh said the Budget was "an opportunity for the SNP to put forward radical ideas that recognise the scale of the national unemployment crisis facing Scotland".
However, he said: "Instead, they are simply passing on Tory cuts while trying to escape the blame for them. The truth is that it is their spending decisions that are cutting budgets for colleges, housing and local government services."
Meanwhile Lib Dem MSP Liam McArthur urged Mr Swinney to reverse the "savage cuts to the budgets of Scotland's colleges". And the Tories also want to see more cash for colleges, as well as calling for additional investment in housing and for the public health levy to be scrapped.
