inova consultancy
Sheffield City Centre
Inova has been running since 2001 and provides consultancy services, training
and coaching programmes in the areas of entrepreneurship, employability, career
development and wellbeing, with a focus on diversity and equal opportunities. We
work with a wide target group for which we provide a variety of training and
support programmes. Much of our work focuses on supporting those who are
under-represented or who face challenges to fulfil their potential, and many of
these are co-funded by the European Union’s Erasmus+ programme. Our funded
programmes have helped many of those who are most vulnerable, including
migrants, NEET young people, older people and women who have been victims of
violence, trafficking, homelessness or abuse, to name a few. We have worked
extensively with entrepreneurs, artists and women in non-traditional fields such
as Science, Technology, Engineering & Maths (STEM). Our director, Marina Larios,
is president of WiTEC, the European Association of Women in SET. Our programmes
use coaching and mentoring to support individuals to develop their ‘soft
skills’, build confidence and self-efficacy and reflect on and achieve their
goals. Our in-house trainers have over 50 years of experience between them and
can provide one to one coaching, workshops and Enterprise/Career/Mentoring and
Mindfulness Circles™. Meet them at our “Our Team” page! Our Circles are a series
of products developed by Inova which combine mentoring, coaching and action
learning to support individuals to reflect on and develop either a new or
existing business, change or progress in their career or consider their personal
life goals. This methodology was recognised by Aberdeen University business
academics as a successful programme for the development of entrepreneurial
skills and they have since been adapted to support many other people in
different areas of life.
