MANAGERS are flocking to the Lake District to try their hands at mountain rescue, paintballing and raft-building as a way of improving their workplace skills.
Parity Training, of Blackfriars Street, Manchester has formed a partnership with the Outward Bound Trust to provide adventurous activities as well as classroom sessions on project management skills and teamwork.
Demand for courses has rocketed by 92 per cent in the past year.
A trust spokesman said: "We operate 364 days a year in partnership with Parity and have recently launched courses aimed at smaller companies. They can send two or three managers at a time whereas previously the courses could only take eight or 12 at once, limiting them to bigger firms."
Parity's Steve Riddlestone said: "Good project management gives managers a better chance in the workplace and our courses help address the skills shortage in management which can be seen in the IT sector."
