The project is part-funded by the European Social Fund and delivered by a consortium of 8 organisations including Lancaster & Morecambe College (LMC), and is led by the University of Central Lancashire (UCLan).

Activities are delivered across the partnership through coordinated promotional campaigns, focussing on advice & guidance, coaching & mentoring, and upskilling employees.

Leading Lancashire is a development programme in the following Lancashire Local Enterprise Partnership priority sectors; Engineering, Advanced Manufacturing, Energy & Environment, Digital, Creative, Visitor Economy, Financial Services and Construction.

If you're employed by a Lancashire-based Small or Medium Enterprise (SME) with less than 250 employees, or you are self-employed, then you could be entitled to access all our Leading Lancashire courses for free.

There is no limit to the number of courses you can attend. You must be aged over 16 or over and be eligible to live and work in the UK.

LMC are proud to offer a range of Chartered Management Institute (CMI) awards and certificates as part of the project, alongside courses in innovation, marketing, social media, content creation and IT packages.

By taking part in the Leading Lancashire project, you will gain access to:

• Skills and confidence development programmes, increasing individual capacity to take up opportunities such as coaching, mentoring and support.

• Leadership and management qualifications and units from Level 3 to Level 7.

• Bridging programmes to prepare employees for higher-level apprenticeships and qualifications.

• A range of courses offered as a half day course, a short course (full day) and management development programmes delivered either face to face in our Business Conference Centre or via online technologies.
