In the UK, Manchester based Onward Consultancy is offering an advisory service to assist companies in accessing government funds for the purchase of sales training and managerial development. The service is available to businesses throughout the UK ‘completely free of charge’. It aims at helping to diagnose a company’s skills needs and how it can qualify for government funded training to optimise performance and competitiveness.
“Understanding how to obtain government funding and subsidies is often a grey area and can make training budgets stretch further,” says managing director John Finlay. “Many companies are not aware that they qualify for funding or how much can be applied for. Government support of up to £1,000 per individual is available for up to seven employees per organisation in businesses employing between 5-249 people and for six where 250-999 are employed.
“The first £500 of approved cost is available free and a further £500 of funding is available on a 50% match funded basis for the direct cost of the training or personal development activity. Approved funding can be used to access any support or training identified by organisation leaders or managers.”
