Help to Grow Management Programme

The course is open to managers and business leaders to help boost business performance, resilience and long-term growth. By the end of the course, participants will develop a business growth plan to lead their organisation to achieve its full potential. The 12-week course has been designed to allow participants to complete it alongside full-time work.  It is 90% funded by the Government and the fee payable by participants is £750.   

 This practical course combines: 

• 8 facilitated online sessions, delivered by a University of Derby academic with relevant private sector experience  
• 4 face-to-face Case Study workshop sessions (delivered in Derby and Chesterfield on our next Cohort) 
• Peer group support – a chance to network with likeminded business leaders (there are 8×1 hour online peer groups in the same weeks as online learning modules) 
• Mentoring – 10 hours of one-to-one mentoring with a business mentor  
• Access to the Help to Grow Alumni Programme for post programme support for you and your business
