The Department of Employment and Learning have confirmed that 100% funding will continue to be available in 2014/15 for their Management & Leadership Development Programme.
Any SME with three or more employees is entitled to apply for up to £7,000 worth of training.
The training is provided by independent trainers. We at McCleary & Company have used People First's 'Manage4Success' programme during 2013/14 and plan to enroll on Linkubator's 'Driving Performance' and 'Negotiation Master Classes in 2014/15.
A full list of available courses and providers is available at https://www.delni.gov.uk/madenotborn-mldp.htm
Further details of the courses offered by Linkubator are available at https://www.linkubator.com/programmes
We believe that for anyone interested in improving their business skills, this is too good an opportunity to miss, the 100% funding will not last for ever, so take action now.
