“ECTP has helped me to access precious funding to train my staff over the last 5 years. It has helped me to offer staff the opportunity to continue to develop their role and also improved our staff retention rates. At first I thought the process was lots of paperwork, but the ECTP team really supported me to complete the process and it is always great when the cheques arrive!”
