Local LEP ScaleUp Programmes
In September Sheffield City Region launched a Scale Up Initiative to which businesses can apply via a competitive process. As well as high-quality learning delivered by local university partners, the programme offers networking and peer learning opportunities and includes a range of industry speakers from high growth businesses.
The programme consists of learning modules spread across four workshop days held over three months to allow busy leaders to participate. Individual businesses are given their own dedicated Business Growth Specialist, whom they can call upon at any time during the programme and beyond. In addition, between each workshop they meet in 1-2-1 sessions. Sheffield City Region also organises peer-to-peer networking sessions for the cohort.
