Leadership & Management Programme

Up to £1,000 available to support formal (qualification based), or informal (coaching / mentoring), training.

This funding opportunity became available from April 2008 through the Learning & Skills Council (LSC).

The core aim of the project is to support business leaders and senior managers, enhance their business-building and leadership skills and have a positive impact on their businesses growth.

If you are an owner-manager, key director, or senior personnel within the business, the first £500 of funding is available to support an identified leadership/management development need. Thereafter, a further £500 is available but this has to be matched funded (up to £500 including VAT) by the employer.
 

The gateway to access this funding is through the LSC - Skills Brokers.

The Skills Brokers meet with the business and together you identify development needs, create an action plan and agree the best route forward, considering the most appropriate resources to meet the particular need.
