Improve your management techniques
Improve your management techniques and grow your business in 2008
2008 is the time for business managers to improve their leadership skills and boost their competitiveness.
John Denham, Secretary of State for Innovation, Universities highlighted an opportunity for small businesses to take advantage of Government funded training which will come into effect in the New Year.
Financial help for management and leadership training is being offered as part of the Government’s ‘Train to Gain’ scheme which has gone from £4 million to £30 million a year (for next three years).
Skills shortages have been the main cause of negative productivity and competitiveness for fast-growing economies in the UK. Train to Gain’s goal is to increase its funding for management training over the next three years in an attempt to combat this. It hopes to raise awareness to the value of the benefits that education can bring.
It is estimated that by the year 2010, over 500,000 people would have used this service.
Skills Minister
David Lammy, said:
“Services aimed at small businesses only work if they are flexible enough to be used when and where employers want them. In expanding Train to Gain, we’ve listened closely to the business community to ensure we’ve met their needs - in particular in designing the enhanced management training service”.
“I hope that employers will respond by making full use of the opportunity to improve their staff leadership credentials, and to get their staff trained up to deliver real growth in 2008”.
