We are happy to announce that Nottingham University Business School will be running our next Help to Grow: Management cohorts in June and November 2024.
The Help to Grow: Management programme is a 90% government funded, 12-week course which includes over 50 hours of in-depth training.
The programme teaches strategies for growth and innovation, engaging with customers, building a sustainable and agile business, as well as financial management and responsible business practices.
Programme delivery is through a series of webinars, case studies, peer group sessions and one to one mentoring, taking place through a blend of online and face-to-face sessions.
Thanks to the Haydn Green Institute, we are able to offer a limited number of fully-funded, discretionary bursaries. These are for businesses or social enterprises that are supporting underserved groups and we are particularly interested if your work addresses building stronger communities, tackling climate change or improving health.
The government have guaranteed funding for this programme up to April 2024 so do utilise this while possible. Find out more information on this programme here.
