Leadership and Management Training Fund

What is it for?

Government funding is available to help small to medium sized companies gain leadership and management training, ensuring that they remain on top during the recession. The grant is designed to help businesses survive and thrive in the tough economic climate by identifying and sourcing appropriate training and development solutions to improve management skills.

How it works?

The grant enables a company to invest £1,500 towards leadership and management training, for only a £500 contribution. The first £500 of training is fully funded, and can be used for a Director, Leader or Senior Manager. A subsequent £500 of grant support will be match-funded and is available to train either the same individual and/or other Senior Members of the management team. We suggest that the funding is put towards ABA tailored workshops to benefit the most staff.

A Leadership and Management Specialist Advisor will work with you to provide the most relevant training solutions for your company. In providing the right training for you, we will: -

• Examine the key areas of responsibility and targets for the managers concerned
• Identify key areas in which increased skills or knowledge would have a positive impact on the business
• Identify the training options available
• Put together a Personal Development Plan, which will determine the most suitable course of action to support the objectives.

Workshops can be delivered on your premises or as open courses. In most cases you will be required to pay us directly and then claim the funded amount back from the Leadership and Management fund.

Who is it for?

To be eligible for the scheme, companies must employ between 5 and 249 people (or 5 and 999 in the North West), and must not have accessed leadership and management funding support before (though this may differ in some regions). Participants must be from an EU country, or have lived in an EU country for the last 3 years. Terms and conditions of the scheme may differ in different regions; please contact us for more details.-
