Working in partnership to inspire, transform and develop communities

We work in close partnership with employers throughout our regions, delivering support through a number of contracts, projects, products and services that open doors to opportunities. All our employer services aim to make a positive difference to the lives of individuals - through and in partnership with employers - by giving them the best chance of success in learning and work.

We’re passionate about transforming the economic and social health of communities in our regions, and we believe that working closely with employers is the right way to do it. What’s more, we’re fully resourced to provide all our services remotely as conditions require.

Thanks from us for being such a credible stakeholder in this process with the businesses. There was considerable positive feedback from some of the associates who had calls with Adviza during the Spring lockdown, some advisors even helped associates with writing CVs which they thought was very helpful for them. All in all a positive piece of work.
