£ 20 million Pledged by the Government to Boost Private Sector

Story added 12 April 2011.

To help maintain growth in the Private sector the Government is pledging £ 20m to the support of management training in small to medium size businesses in the UK.

The government funding for entrepreneurial growth, announced yesterday, will enable around 13,000 small and medium sized enterprises to access a Leadership and Management development grant. This important funding pledge recognises the fact that appropriate management skills are holding many UK firms back and were identified by a Chartered Management Institute survey in late 2010 as an area for low confidence coming into 2011.

The new government money being thrown at this issue will be made available in match funded grants of up to £1,000 which can be spent on leadership training and coaching that will develop the right skills to allow strategic goals to be realised. The programme also includes a free consultation with an expert adviser before the training commences, as well as a free follow-up to discuss the impact of the training and any further skills needs.
