Applications open for Goldman Sachs Small Business Programme
Applications are now open for the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses UK programme.
The programme is designed to provide high-quality practical education and business support to leaders of high-growth small businesses and social enterprises across the country.
The initiative consists of over 100 hours of business and management education involving a blend of online and in-person residential sessions.
This is a national growth programme that has been established since 2010 and has shown to impact the businesses taking part.
Participants benefit from a broad package of management education and business coaching delivered by specialists and professional practitioners, with a strong focus on structured peer learning and the creation of a community of entrepreneurs.
The emphasis throughout the programme is on learning what is applicable to you and what can be implemented in your business straight away. This is achieved by providing the practical tools and resources to help lay the foundations for long-term sustainable growth and job creation in your business.
Among many to have already benefited from the programme is Ian Vickers, managing director of MET, graduated from it in 2014.
"It is a challenging yet highly rewarding programme," said Ian. "I wish it had been available to me 10 years ago as it would have helped me accelerate the growth of MET significantly. If you are lucky to be selected to take part in the next cohort then grab it with both hands.
