What's Available

Each employer can benefit from up to £1,000 of grant support for leadership and management training.  All support requires match funding from the employer.  i.e for any costs the employer must pay 50%.  

Eligibility

  • Organisations in scope for the service are either private sector businesses or social enterprises which employ fewer than 250 full time employees and have at least one employee in addition to the eligible beneficiary
  • Beneficiaries must be the owner/MD/CEO of a business or social enterprise if it employs 50 people or less.
  • If the business or social enterprise employs more than 50 people, a beneficiary who reports directly to theowner/MD/CEO can be considered.
  • Eligible organisations must also be able to demonstrate growth or growth potential.

Funded Learning and Development must address one of the following areas:

  • Developing a highly effective personal leadership and management style (including strategic thinking and effective communication).
  • Creating a joint enterprise culture with the workforce (including developing an innovative, creative and productive culture for the organisation; developing productive working relationships; reducing and managing workplace conflict). 
  • Planning and developing an effective organisation and teams (including recruitment, selections and departure; building and managing effective, creative and innovative teams; conveying vision and objective setting). 
  • Leading and managing employee high performance (including employee motivation and commitment; delivering value; learning and development).
  • In some very limited circumstances, other proposed leadership and management development activity which supports the beneficiary to fully engage and make full use of their workforce may be approved but this will require additional approval from the Skills Funding Agency.

Funding


Funding is up to a maximum of £1000 and dependent on meeting all the eligibility criteria. Funding will need to be fully matched by the beneficiary organisation on a pound for pound basis, excluding the VAT element. So if an organisation is eligible and the approved learning and development costs £1500 excluding VAT, the organisation may be eligible for a grant of £750. No unmatched grant funding is available. Previous beneficiaries of this programme may be eligible for further support but must meet the eligibility criteria in the application form, including demonstrating growth or growth potential.
