The government’s simplification agenda means that all publicly-funded business advice must be tested against the national framework regarding scope, quality and strategic fit. The proposed South West social enterprise business support service is being designed against this framework.
RISE is offering training (see
www.rise-sw.co.uk/training) and a bursary scheme (offering up to 50% of the SFEDI assessment fee, see
www.rise-sw.co.uk/bursary) for business advisors to achieve the accreditation and with the push for a regional service to be in place by April 2007, this is a very timely offer. For advisors, there are three 1-day training courses - choose one or all three days, depending on your skills and training needs
15.3.07 Supporting Emerging Social Enterprise - Planning and Viability
22.3.07 Supporting New Start Social Enterprises - Legal Structures and Business Planning
29.3.07 Supporting Established Enterprises - Survival and Growth
Each day is tailored to provide you with the specific knowledge and tools based on your existing skills and experience, to offer the best possible support to your social enterprise clients. The courses are fully endorsed by SFEDI and cover all the essential underpinning knowledge and understanding you'll need to meet the standards.
Cost per day: £215 or £175 for RISE Additions members
