READY TO TAKE YOUR BUSINESS TO THE NEXT LEVEL?

UNIVERSITY OF GLOUCESTERSHIRE OFFER BUSINESS LEADERS THE OPPORTUNITY TO CAPITALISE ON GOVERNMENT FUNDING VIA A NATIONAL LEADERSHIP PROGRAMME TO HELP THEM

The University of Gloucestershire Business School is offering local business leaders the opportunity to access a 90% funded course that will help them grow their companies. The course designed to fit alongside work commitments is a 12-week programme, combining practical curriculum with one-to-one support from a leading business mentor and alumni networking sessions.

What can business leaders expect from Help To Grow: Management?

The programme offers participants 50 hours of support over 12 weeks. There are eight facilitated online sessions and four workshops delivered in-person at the Oxstalls Campus. These workshops are longer, more in-depth taught sessions, delivered by small business and enterprise experts. This is from the University’s Business School and is supported by leading figures from industry and experienced entrepreneurs.

After each taught session, participants will meet in small groups for peer network sessions, to enable them to review and reflect together.

Participants are also paired up with a personal mentor who will facilitate one-to-one weekly online sessions. The aim of this is to create a tailored business growth plan that you can take away immediately and implement in your company.

Andrew Kimberlee, Managing Director from NETBuilder said:

“I would thoroughly recommend the Help to Grow: Management course, as it is well worth the time and money. All the case studies examined as part of the course are fresh and new, and it’s a great opportunity to meet fellow business peers to share challenges and new ideas. The mentoring sessions are also excellent, as they really challenge you to think hard about your business model; the complete package represents fantastic value when compared with many other commercially available leadership coaching and mentoring services.”

Neil Evans, Managing Director of Caplor Energy said:

“I’ve really enjoyed taking part in the Help to Grow: Management course; every module has been useful, and highly applicable to our day-today challenges as a growing business. The Peer Group sessions are excellent and represent a valuable opportunity to discuss the issues raised in each module with fellow business leaders. I would thoroughly recommend the course to any business looking to achieve sustainable growth.”

The next programme begins in April followed by another one in May.
