A new Burnley boot camp aims to empower employees with leadership and management expertise.

North West Business Training has announced the launch of a new skills boot camp in leadership and management.

The initiative, powered by Burnley College, aims to equip business owners and their teams with the knowledge to nurture effective leadership in their organisations.

The boot camp is an intensive 10-week programme, starting this month.

The first programme will run until January, with a second programme beginning in February.

Ashley Alderson, manager of North West Business Training, said: "In business, staying ahead means continually investing in team development.

"Keeping your workforce up to date with the latest skills and techniques is crucial in maintaining a competitive edge in today's dynamic business environment.

"Our Leadership and Management Bootcamp ensures participants not only gain theoretical knowledge but also practical skills that can be immediately applied within their respective businesses."

The initiative is aimed at employees identified as potential leaders or those recently promoted without formal leadership qualifications or prior experience.

The government-supported programme, costing from £280, is fully funded for self-employed individuals.

Participants will undertake projects directly related to their businesses, ensuring immediate benefits.

With their extensive professional experience, Burnley College trainers guarantee high-quality instruction and mentorship.

Their tailored approach ensures businesses receive custom training packages that meet their unique needs.
