Deverill, in partnership with Train to Gain, can offer your business from 66% to 100% funding on your leadership and management business skills training.

Up to £1000 per company of funding for soft skills training is available for Managers and Supervisors. Amounts over £500 are subject to 'matched funding' by the company.

Courses can be from our public schedule or company bespoke training with a range of topics available. A selection of possible topics are listed below:

Eligibility
All businesses must meet the following criteria:

• Between 10 and 249 employees. This applies to the whole company, not an individual site.
• Private, franchise, public and voluntary bodies.
• Not benefited from Leadership and Management grant funding since April 2006.
  

What process is involved in identifying leadership and management needs and solutions?
The owner/senior manager is offered an in-depth diagnostic to identify leadership and management development plan (LMD) needs which leads to the co-creation of a personal development plan (PDP) by a specialist Leadership and Management Advisor and the employer.  This PDP seeks to outline and address LMD needs and also to identify challenging and innovative solutions to the LMD needs.

What kind of training and development solutions can be funded?
All solutions are aimed at developing leaders and managers within the business. In many organisations, this will be the MD, or a director. However, if it can be shown that a particular manager has substantial leadership responsibility, then they may be eligible for this funding.

The key factor is:
The solutions must provide development that will increase the leadership capability of the business leader and his/her senior managers (if included), and match the business and personal development needs identified.

There will be a wide range of solutions that businesses will want to access. These will include:

• Accredited management qualifications
• Coaching /mentoring
• Customised management development packages

Please note that ALL development solutions must be at least 6 hours or more.

The funding cannot be used for:

• Mandatory or statutory training (e.g. Health and Safety)
• Technical training (e.g. IT skills)
• Assessment costs for accreditation such as ISO or IiP
  

Grant Funding
Up to £1000 for the cost of leadership and management activity is available to support owners/senior managers in eligible organisations.  The first £500 is fully funded. Amounts over £500 are on a matched funding basis, i.e. for an investment of £1,500, a grant of £1,000 will be awarded upon receipt of payment evidence (receipted invoice).

If the full funding is not taken up by the first beneficiary, then other managers can be included dependent upon the business needs and further PDPs being produced.
