We are pleased to announce that a range of our Icon SuccessModel Program modules have been approved by NZTE to qualify for subsidy under their Management Capability Development catagory.
New Zealand Trade & Enterprise (NZTE) are the government body charged with promoting the development of NZ business and in particular export focused ones. There used to be a range of direct subsidy support for business owners to bring in outside advisers to their businesses, but these were stopped in 2009. Since then NZTE have been working on a replacement and have settled on a voucher system that gives a business owner a bit more flexibility as to where they can go to receive management capability development services. The vouchers are able to be used with accredited service providers (like Icon) on a 50:50 co funded basis, up to a maximum of $5,000 per business, per year. This means the total value of support programs that an owner can undertake and qualify for subsidy is $10,000 per annum.
