CAE technology conference attracts big guns
This year's Altair Technology Conference will take place on 2nd November at the Heritage Motor Centre, Gaydon.
The training grant can cover any area of the business where staff need training.
So anything from business planning and supervisory management to multi-skilling and IT is possible.
The training can be carried out externally as well as internally, so it can be entirely flexible to fit in with production.
What's the catch? The funding is only available to SMEs in certain regions namely the South East, South West, North East, North West, East of England, East Midlands and West Midlands, London.
Eligible companies must employ fewer than 250 people and not be more than 25% owned by a larger organisation.
