Business and Skills.

The Dorset New Forest Tourism Partnership supports local businesses by providing subsidised training and business support for all those who work in the tourism and hospitality industry.

Through a range of training and business support local tourism businesses can now access affordable training, training grants and source valuable, tourism specific business advice.

The Partnership secures finance from Government and European funds, local authorities and other external bodies including the Learning and Skills Council and passes this on in the form of subsidies towards training, staff development and business advice.

The Partnership also manages the Dorset Retail Skillshop which offers a similar service to the retail industry.

If you can't find the kind of training or business support you require from this website, please call or email. The Partnership has contacts with many other funding organisations who maybe able to help.
