Bespoke Higher Level Business Skills Development for SME directors and managers
Coventry & Warwickshire SMEs (up to 249 employees) in eligible sectors can receive a 50% European Social Fund (ESF) grant towards tailored business training which focuses on the day-to-day performance and organisational challenges that are unique to your business.
This individualised programme is delivered by specialist trainers and experienced business experts from Hylman – an approved supplier of training for the ESF Coventry & Warwickshire Skills 4 Growth (CWS4G) programme. The training support is adapted and scoped to suit the needs of your business and can support a range of areas including, but not limited to, business strategy, commercial strategy, and financial modelling.
The CWS4G Programme Manager, Anne-Marie Tranter, explains that by accessing a 50% ESF grant towards the full cost of training, “this is an exciting and affordable opportunity for Coventry & Warwickshire SMEs to undertake higher level skills development that is relevant and fine-tuned to reflect your operating environment and industry sector”.
The 1:1 training support is predominantly delivered online using established videoconferencing platforms and businesses can complete either 6 hours or 8 hours of training depending on the skills need and unique training requirement of the business.
Eligible businesses completing 6 hours of training can claim a 50% ESF grant of £364.00 towards the full training cost of £728.00, while businesses completing the more intensive 8 hours of training can claim a 50% ESF grant of £473.50 towards the full training cost of £947.00, making both options excellent value.
