These meetings provide a unique chance for businesses to receive a bespoke signposting service, learning about available resource and provision in your local area to match your specific business needs. 

The 1-2-1s are conducted via Microsoft Teams and typically last between 30 – 45 minutes. This time is focused purely on your business needs so we can offer relevant, tailored signposting.  Some example topics that can be discussed include:

  • Digital skills needs
