The Business Improvement District (BID) for Milton Keynes, has pledged to support women who are looking to change career, return to work or start their own business.
The BID aim to do this by funding women's places and rewarding their successful completion of a CPD accredited, 12 module online learning programme to become a World Class Manager.
The Back to Business initiative, managed by The Red Thread Partnership and supported by Milton Keynes Council, uses the World Class Manager online development programme to provide participants with an excellent basic grounding in how to be at their best in any organisation, whatever its size and their level of seniority.
Supporting participants in their learning, Jane Horridge, one of Milton Keynes’ most influential women leaders and an expert in personal development, will lead six, two-hour online workshops during the three-month programme.
The course cost is subsidised by Milton Keynes Council, and requires participants to cover the remaining £50 fee in order to sign up. However, MyMiltonKeynes is pledging to cover this fee, plus provide a £50 bonus, for any participants that quote MyMK01 on their application form and successfully complete the course.
Melanie Beck MBE, Chief Executive of MyMiltonKeynes explains: “We are always looking for ways that we can support the success of professionals and businesses in Milton Keynes and when we heard about the Back to Business initiative, we were keen to provide an additional incentive for those who are really committed to continuing their professional development by successfully completing this accredited programme.”
There are just 25 places available on the course, so if this exciting new challenge sounds like something that you’d like to take on, please email enquiries@the-redthread.co.uk to request an application form. And don’t forget to quote MyMK01 on your return form.
