The Leadership for Growth programme is designed to develop the capabilities of aspiring managers and leaders within scale-up potential SMEs, across Liverpool City Region.

The programme aims to enable leadership and management teams to
improve productivity, resilience and business performance.

They offer fully funded Chartered Management Institute (CMI) courses that help participants to develop either their operational or strategic leadership capabilities helping them to:

  • Become action-centred leaders to lead change relating to people, technology, markets or products
