Winners to learn partnership skills

by Personnel Today 21 Mar 2000
by Personnel Today 21 Mar 2000

Trade and Industry Secretary Stephen Byers has announced the first winners
of funds to encourage innovative approaches to partnership in organisations
across the country.

Thirty-six winners will benefit from the investment of £2.5m in the first
round of the Partnership Fund. The Government is providing £1.2m, with the rest
raised by the winners themselves.

The fund is intended to help foster partnerships between employers and
employees at individual organisations, to address training, development and
business issues, and disseminate best practice at local, regional and national
levels.

The Partnership Fund will run for four years. The £10m fund will be made up
of £5m of government money with the same amount or more from the private and
voluntary sectors.

Each winner can receive up to £50,000 from the Government.
