This resource comprises the outputs from one of a series of projects to test a range of approaches to improving and extending training and related business services for employers. The college's employer base comprised around 98 per cent small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) and micro businesses, which were difficult to engage. The project developed a programme of business seminars through which to engage and forge closer links with small and micro businesses in their area. The project began the process of developing a range of short courses and a bank of external trainers to deliver them on an associate basis.
