to

British/Irish Agreement Act 1999 Section 2.3 Part 7 of Annex 2 of the Act
empowers InterTradeIreland to invest, lend or grant aid for the purposes of its
function.

Maximum cost per company
2002: GBP 25 400
2003: GBP 25 400
Maximum total funded element
2002: GBP 254 000
2003: GBP 254 000
Notes: 20 projects will be established and implemented during 2002-2004. Cost
per project is GB 25 400 over 12-month duration. The GBP 25 400 per project
is paid in quarterly instalments over the 12-month period. Annual expenditure
for the overall FOCUS scheme of 20 projects is calculated on the basis that the
projects will commence mid-2002 and be completed mid-2003. Therefore, spend
is apportioned across the two years
Total funding element for 20 projects over 2 years = GBP 508 000. This repre-
sents 65 % of the total project cost with the remaining 35 % attributed by the
participating enterprises

Maximum aid intensity

Up to a maximum of GBP 25 400 assistance per project per annum representing
65 % aid intensity.

Date of implementation, duration

Proposed scheme to run for 2 years from date of approval.
Individual companies will be eligible for assistance for a maximum of 12 months

Objective of aid

The objective of the aid is to train high-calibre graduates in sales and marketing
with a view to preparing them for senior management. The training is general as
it is generic to all participating graduates and provides skills which are transfer-
able across industry.
It is intended that the FOCUS programme will provide participating graduates
with part or full accreditation towards membership of relevant professional
bodies, such as the Chartered Institute of Marketing and/or the Marketing Insti-
tute of Ireland
