The Employers’ Chamber and the Canterbury Development Corporation (CDC) have recently partnered in the delivery of the Enterprise Training Programme funded throughout the country by New Zealand Trade & Enterprise (NZTE).
The programme is aimed at upskilling the owners and managers of small and medium sized enterprises by offering a range of business management training. Because this training is fully funded by NZTE, the only cost to participants is their time and energy.
In addition to the workshops, the programme includes the opportunity to discuss business needs and develop a training and opportunity plan with an experienced business assessor. Following attendance at the workshops, attendees also have the opportunity to take up one on one coaching with the workshop presenter to assist in implementing what has been learnt in the workshop.
The following Foundation Level workshops are available for the owners and operators of fairly new businesses. To register to attend any of the workshops, please click on the course title below.
Please note if you have not previously attended the Enterprise Training Programme, you will need to complete a Client Registration Form before registering for any workshops.
