The Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses Programme for Small Businesses and Social Enterprise Leaders in the Midlands
The programme is for the leaders of established small businesses and commercial social enterprises who want to grow. Participants benefit from a structured, practical learning experience focused on the challenges faced by growing small businesses. They gain access to multiple sources of high quality advice and guidance. Participants join a group of 25 to 30 selected small business leaders who form a trusted network that provides peer-to-peer support, challenge and guidance to one another in an open, constructive and dynamic learning environment. Participation is fully funded for successful applicants.
10KSB UK has been designed with Saïd Business School, University of Oxford, and is delivered in the Midlands in partnership with Aston Business School, which is renowned for its strong networks and understanding of local business, the quality of its innovative learning and teaching and world leading research.
A first cohort of Midlands business leaders was recruited in October 2011 and we are now recruiting a further cohort to participate between March and July 2012. The closing date for applications is 12th December 2011.
