SUCCESSFUL FUNDING GRANT PROGRAMME FOR WARWICK DISTRICT SMEs

A large number of Warwickshire businesses have taken advantage of skills support grants from Warwick District Council (WDC) through Coventry and Warwickshire Chamber of Commerce Training (CWCCT).  The grants, which were available to SME’s in Leamington Spa, Warwick and Kenilworth, were extremely valuable in assisting businesses in their steps to recover from the pandemic.  With a focus on skills, the support grants enabled individuals to upskill, raising productivity and creating a strong foundation for the future.

As one of the largest local providers of skills development and apprenticeships, CWCCT worked in partnership with WDC to develop a package of targeted training for SME’s, across a range of subjects, including leadership and management, digital skills, and sales and marketing.

Commenting on the successful partnership with WDC, Sally Lucas, Executive Director at CWCCT commented: “The Business Skills Toolkit was a fantastic opportunity for businesses to develop staff, creating a strong team for the future.  We were pleased to see so many businesses coming forward, thinking creatively about how they should develop their people and reaping the benefits of the support provided by WDC.

“We provided a wide range of half and full-day courses, which combined theory and practice and were full of ideas to make a real difference in the workplace. Training included topics such as leadership and management, supervisory skills, customer care and digital development, including Excel, everything from half-day seminars to longer accredited qualifications.

 “For a number of SMEs, we were able to offer bespoke, tailored programmes of skills development that were designed around their specific business needs.  We look forward to building long-term relationships with the businesses and for any organisation that missed out on this opportunity, we encourage them to get in touch to discuss their skills needs with our experienced advisors.”
