College launches SME training programme
Derby College Group has launched a new programme to support the training and development of staff at local small and medium-sized businesses.
Funding is available from the European Social Fund to pay for individuals to complete ILM and Team Leading qualifications at the college, which are designed to upskill employees in leadership and management that supports business growth, productivity and competitive edge.
Those who work for a business with less than 250 employees and based in the D2N2 area are eligible for funding and there is an additional focus on STEM businesses focused on science, technology, engineering and maths.
The qualifications will be delivered via virtual learning and are free to the individuals and employer although there are some one-off costs for the registration and certification of the courses.
Carol Dixon, DCG’s director of commercial business, said: “This is an opportunity for employees at SMEs in our local area to upskill and support the growth, productivity and competitive edge of the business in which they work.
“Such skills are vital to enable businesses to bounce back stronger from the effects of the pandemic and to create more much-needed local jobs for local people.”
