University launches coaching scheme
Loughborough University has announced plans to offer bespoke business courses alongside conferencing and venue operator Imago.
The university's school of business and economics will run one and two-day training programmes at Imago's Holywell Park and Burleigh Court properties.
Programmes including marketing strategy planning, project management, coaching and team development will be available to businesses.
The university said it was also considering extending its programme reach to include events linking business coaching skills with lessons learned from sport, drawing on "its association with athletic achievement".
Professor Jim Saker, associate dean for enterprise at the school of business and economics at the university, said: "In the current climate businesses understand that well-trained, well-motivated employees are more important than ever. But they’re looking for ways of delivering training and development that are cost effective and have added value.
"At the school of business and economics we can design programmes that are tailored to fit the needs of organisations and draw on expertise from across the university."
