Huddersfield Business School is launching the tenth round of its highly regarded Help to Grow management programme. This 12-week course is designed for managers of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) looking to improve their leadership skills and drive business growth.
The programme includes 12 interactive sessions and 10 hours of business mentoring, delivered by industry experts. Participants will engage in a mix of online and face-to-face workshops, dedicating three to five hours per week to refine their business strategies and develop key skills.
Launched in April 2022, the Help to Grow programme has already supported 150 local businesses across various sectors, including retail, construction, manufacturing, and the creative industries. Funding for two more cohorts has been secured, enabling the University to offer the programme to an additional 30 businesses in September 2025 and another 30 in January 2026.
The initiative has seen strong participation from Kirklees businesses, with the programme’s alumni network serving as a valuable resource for ongoing collaboration and development. The scheme continues to provide critical support to businesses seeking to foster growth and innovation.
