Training Support
Our Economic Development Team provides training programmes that help local businesses to focus on raising individuals’ skills and encouraging a learning culture within companies.
Training support is available for areas such as:
supervisory skills
manufacturing operations
advanced managerial techniques
business planning
financial management
information communication technology (ICT)
marketing
e-commerce
If you are a small to medium enterprise (SME), you should aim to support a training needs analysis or a personal development plan for each employee being trained. Where possible, training should lead to a recognised qualification, such as SVQ Level 2 or above.
Training to meet legislation is not eligible for support from our Economic Development Service.
