Manage company training (4)
'manage' is the definition.
('cope' can be a synonym of 'manage')
'company training' is the wordplay.
'company' becomes 'co' (abbreviation).
'training' becomes 'pe' (**).
'co'+'pe'='COPE'
(Other definitions for cope that I've seen before include "Clerical vestment; to deal (with)" , "top on wall" , "Deal well with difficulties" , "Manage, make do" , "special cloak" .)
But I've got no explanation for this one! Could you help me understand?
