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 an organisation must:

• Be based in the East of England region
• Employ between 5-249 staff or volunteers
• Not have 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).
