Small Business Leadership Programme
The Small Business Leadership Programme has been designed to help SMEs develop their potential for future growth and productivity and to support resilience and recovery from the impact of COVID-19.
The fully-funded 10-week programme is delivered online and designed to be manageable alongside full-time work. You'll attend eight 90-minute webinars and complete up to two hours of independent study and peer-supported learning each week.
You'll develop strategic leadership skills, build valuable networks and learn from business experts to help you create an innovative and agile organisation, boost performance and growth and improve risk management and efficiency.
The programme is being delivered by a consortium of business schools accredited by the Small Business Charter (SBC) and supported by the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy.
