The scheme will be delivered by its SkillsBank – a fund designed to provide financial support to businesses towards the cost of upskilling the workforce to achieve business growth.

The STAR Manager programme focuses on providing new knowledge and skills for thriving in the ever-changing workplace. It enables managers to adopt an enquiry-led approach, which encourages them to move beyond the traditional command-and-control model and become ‘enablers’ of their team members.

Organisations eligible for funding must have either: one to 249 staff and an annual turnover of less than £40m or have over 250 staff and an annual turnover greater than £40m.
