The LEAD Programme in Cumbria
LEAD is an innovative leadership programme
specifically created for owners of small businesses with up to 20
employees. The 10 month programme provides hands-on advice, expert
coaching and practical support to help you tackle real-life issues,
and enable you to make decisions with confidence. LEAD is
being delivered across the North West by 13 providers, supported by
the NWDA. The University of Cumbria is the only provider in
Cumbria.
The programme will be running in five
locations in Cumbria over the next three years: Workington,
Carlisle, Penrith,
Ambleside and Furness. LEAD requires 2-3 days
commitment a month for 10 months. This is a high value course
supported by the NWDA resulting in a maximum cost to your
business of just £2,000. Several funding opportunities may be
available to reduce this cost further, subject to meeting relevant
eligibility criteria.
