[cma-l] Receive up to £1000 of funding to help train trustees and managers

[CMA-L]

This programme, from the Charity Trustee Networks (CTN), is
specifically aimed at trustees/business owners/managers responsible
for the direction of an organisation, including private, franchise,
public and voluntary bodies employing between 5 and 249 staff.

The Learning and Skills Council (LSC) has been providing Leadership
and Management funding to charities and businesses for several years.

The programme has now evolved as a Specialist Advisory Service with
new eligibility criteria that opens up the offer to previously
ineligible organisations. Now even more employers will have access to
funded training that enhances their leadership and management skills
and in turn nurtures business growth.

You can apply to use the funding to pay for trustees to attend
conferences such as the Practical Trusteeship Conference. For more
information about this conference go to:

Each employer can benefit from up to £1,000 of grant support. The
first £500 does not require a contribution from the employer and
should be used for trustees or directors. The subsequent £500 must be
‘match funded’ by the employer and is available for key members of
management.

To be eligible for the programme your organisation must:

    * Employ between 5 to 249 people

    * Not already have received Leadership & Management funding
support (under Train to Gain)

    * Must be from an EU country, or have lived in an EU country for
the last 3 years

A Specialist Adviser will carry out a free impartial Individual Needs
Analysis and help you develop a Personal Action Plan which clearly
identifies your requirements. Together with your Adviser you will
agree on the best solutions to meet the development needs you have
identified.

When you have undertaken your training you can apply to have the costs
reimbursed up to a total of £1000 (including VAT).

NOTE: Funding was previously unavailable to businesses that had
attained the Investor in People standard.  Now funding is available
irrespective of whether you have the standard or not.
