Capability Building
Develop new skillsets in your business
Great South are the Regional Business Partner for Southland, and they can connect your business with capability building opportunities.
This includes connecting you with vouchers to subsidise the cost of workshops, courses and coaching across a wide range of business areas. It’s a co-funding arrangement, which means your business must pay at least half the training costs.
Great South Business Growth Advisors will work with you to identify the areas where your business could benefit from further capability training and then connect you with the services available.
