100 East Midlands businesses to receive fully-subsidised Help to Grow management training
Management training is a key foundation of any successful business. Yet it can be prohibitively expensive.
Help to Grow management training is a project part-funded by the UK Government through the UK Community Renewal Fund. A total of 90% of the course cost is funded by Government, with the remaining 10% paid as a one-off, upfront fee by participating businesses.
In order to help businesses most affected by the coronavirus pandemic, East Midlands Chamber is subsidising the £750 upfront cost for 100 eligible businesses. The result? Businesses receive a fully-funded, 12-week executive development leadership and management course designed to accelerate growth.
Participating universities and business schools in our region include: Leicester Castle Business School; Nottingham Business School; Nottingham University Business School; University of Leicester; and University of Derby.
Most of the training will be delivered online. You may choose whichever course and training provider is most convenient to you, regardless of where you are based.
