Yorkshire Business Forum – Pathways to EU Transition and Beyond – Funding and Support
The West Yorkshire Consortium of Colleges (WYCC) and the Leeds City Region Enterprise Partnership (LEP) want to support the growth and resilience of businesses in the region and their pathways to EU Transition and beyond.
For this reason, they are hosting a series of funding and support presentations and discussions for businesses who are interested in finding out about the support and funding already available. Allowing feedback on what might be needed beyond January.
They welcome you to join them in a virtual discussion around accessing support and funding (£1.5 million (ESIF) available) for up-skilling employees and training to support your growth plans.
