Working with Businesses

We work in partnership with businesses across Cumbria to develop their existing leaders and managers and build the talent pipeline for the future through a range of school engagement and social value activities. We continue to work collaboratively with employers and educators to create an inclusive ladder of lifelong leadership learning opportunities connecting businesses across a range of sectors. They have the opportunity to learn, share best practice and ideas and build vital support networks from primary to retirement generating value by collaborating to co-create solutions.

Workplace Programmes

Our First Line Manager (FLM) and Leader 2 Leader (L2L) programmes are designed to complement each other as part of a progressive leadership pathway, but each can also be taken on its own.

FLM helps new and aspiring managers build strong foundations in people management, communication, and confidence.

L2L develops strategic thinking, leadership influence, and the ability to shape organisational culture.

Whether completed individually or as part of a broader journey, both programmes strengthen leadership capability and help create a shared leadership language across teams.

Early Careers Employees

It can be tricky to navigate your way from education into the workplace. Our early careers support will help your early careers employees make connections, find information and develop relevant skills. We also provide development support to the employees who line-manage or mentor this new generation of leaders, ensuring they get the best start in your organisation and everyone benefits from them being part of the team.

Strategic Partner Packages

We work with organisations of all sizes to co-create flexible partnerships that fit your goals, capacity, and budget, while making a lasting difference in the community.

Become a Primary Partner

The Primary Business Partnership and Centre for Leadership Performance work with primary schools across Cumbria to deliver impactful programmes to broaden horizons, raise aspirations, and help primary aged pupils to Dream BIG about their futures. To recognise the significant levels of support local companies provide, the Primary business partnership and the Centre for Leadership Performance, is excited to launch a new partnership recognising the significant volunteering commitment made by many of our partners.

The CforLP are proud delivery partners of the Primary Business Partnership.

Retirement Support for Employers and Retirees

Working with stakeholders we have developed an integrated programme called ‘Sense of Purpose’ which will improve the quality of life for the retired and retiring, enable local employers and voluntary organisations to benefit from the labour and skills of retired people and boost the local economy.

Develop Your Future Workforce

There are many ways to support our diverse range of school engagement and social value activities, including volunteering to inspire the next generation of leaders, funding our work to ensure the continuation of our programmes, sharing your expertise and guidance as a mentor, helping primary pupils develop mini social enterprises, connecting with your future workforce by hosting a Dream Placement, helping primary pupils build key skills, and much more.
