NEW PLATO PROGRAMME STARTING 9th MARCH 2011

A new core 12 months programme is commencing on the 9th March 2011. The Programme concentrates on the needs of small business Owner Managers and allows you to develop your management skills by tapping into a vast pool of expertise and experience in every area of business.

It is based on a network principle where large companies known as parent companies help small companies in their area. Each parent company releases two executives on a part-time basis to facilitate monthly group meetings with SMEs on the large company premises. 

Participating Companies also benefit from:

• one day training seminars
• specific training programmes e.g. ISO 9000, ECDL
• networking events with large company buyers
• one to one counselling
