Leadership and Management

The Leadership and Management programme offers up to £1000 of funded training for company Directors and Senior Managers or leaders of charity, voluntary or not for profit organisations.

It is often difficult for managers and owners within small to medium sized businesses to identify and source appropriate management training and development solutions to improve management skills - this is where our dedicated Leadership and Management Specialist Advisers can help.

Each employer can benefit from up to £1,000 of grant support for leadership and management training. The first £500 does not require a contribution from the employer and should be used for directors/leaders/senior managers. The subsequent £500 must be 'match funded' by the employer and is available for senior members of the management team.

To qualify for Leadership and Management funded training and organisation must be:

• Based in the East of England region
• Employ between 5-249 staff or volunteers
• Have not accessed any previous training funded by this scheme since October 2007.

The funding can be put towards the cost of a range of personal development options including accredited training (an MBA or Diploma, for example) or non-accredited development (e.g workshops/seminars, coaching/mentoring or continuous personal development).
