The Help to Grow: Management programme is a unique leadership and management course designed to help business leaders boost their businesses performance, resilience, and long-term growth.

The programme consists of 12 modules, 10 hours of 1-2-1 mentoring and peer network sessions. The programme is delivered by Small Business Charter accredited business schools across the UK, which Swansea University School of Management is delighted to be one of. The programme uses face-to-face masterclass sessions alongside case study workshops to give delegates the opportunity to apply the concepts taught to real-life situations faced by business leaders. Business mentors will support delegates throughout the programme, helping them apply their learning directly to their business, and complete a tailored Growth Action Plan to achieve both their leadership and business goals.

90% funded by the UK government, the course costs £750 per delegate.

The next Help to Grow programme at Swansea University will start in January 2026 and run until the end of March 2026. Further information on the programme, including masterclasses, dates, and the option to register can be found here – Swansea University – School of Management | Small Business Charter.

In terms of eligibility for the programme, participants should:

  • Work for a Small or Medium-sized Enterprise based in the United Kingdom
  • Employ between 5 and 249 employees
  • Be a member of the senior leadership team and have direct reports
