Beyond 2010

Beyond 2010 is giving businesses in the East of England access to sector specific training advice and funding for new skills to harness their full potential.

Our team of experienced specialists are working with SMEs to both identify higher level training opportunities that will provide a targeted solution to training needs and help them to access up to 50% of the cost of that training.

Beyond 2010 is funded by the European Social Fund and East of England Development Agency and managed by Essex County Council.

Beyond 2010 includes the Response to Redundancy programme which provides information, advice and re-training opportunities to individuals facing redundancy. This programme is managed by The Consultancy Home Counties (TCHC) on behalf of ExDRA.

The project works alongside Train to Gain to ensure that businesses can get the skills training that they need. Businesses employing up to 250 staff can contact specialist sector advisors who are able to discuss training needs in detail and agree with the business which training course will best meet their needs. Up to half of the cost of training is available from EEDA and the European Social Fund.

To apply for a training grant in the environment, low carbon or sustainable technologies sector, contact Gareth Jones at EnviroCluster on 01733 311644.

Beyond 2010 is managed by Essex County Council and is the follow-up to the successful Towards 2010 programme which assisted nearly 2,400 businesses to train over 8,800 of their staff in areas that would make a tangible difference to business performance.
