Beyond 2010
Beyond 2010 is a new initiative to assist small to medium-sized businesses in the East of England to give staff new skills to move the business forward.
The project works alongside Train to Gain to ensure that businesses can get the skills training that they need. Businesses employing up to 250 staff can contact specialist sector advisors who are able to discuss training needs in detail and agree with the business which training course will best meet their needs. Up to half of the cost of training is available from EEDA and the European Social Fund.
Beyond 2010 focuses on ten key sectors of the East of England's economy:
- automotive and high-tech manufacture
- creative sector
- financial services
- food and drink processing
- life sciences and healthcare
- low carbon and sustainable technologies
- social enterprise
- sustainable communities and the built environment
- tourism and Olympics 2012
- transport gateways

Response to Redundancy
Beyond 2010 also includes the Response to Redundancy programme (formerly known as Responding2Redundancy) which provides advice, guidance and re-training opportunities to individuals facing redundancy. It gives early support to certify their existing skills, and provide appropriate training to improve their opportunities in the job market when they are made redundant.
