Train to Gain
Train to Gain is a government funded initiative, launched by the Learning and Skills Council (LSC). Train to Gain traditionally have helped organisations gain funding in areas such as National Vocational Qualifications (levels 2 and 3), literacy, numeracy and language.
Based on feedback from organisations it was apparent that funding was also required at a more senior level for leadership and management development.
Funded through Train to Gain, the Leadership and Management Programme funds training for managers, supervisors and leaders of organisations to develop their leadership skills, which will in turn help their organisation grow.
One person in your organisation who shares responsibility for the organisation's leadership and develoment can be nominated to receive up to £1000 inc. VAT worth of funded Leadership and Management Training.
To be eligible for this funding you must:
-
Have between 10 and 4999 employees
-
Be based in the South East of England - as this is currently a trial it has not yet been opened up to the rest of the UK.
-
Have a requirement for management development within your organisation
