Adviza

Adviza.org.uk

A full-line careers advice business, registered charity and established social enterprise, delivering paid-for careers services and products to a wide range of schools including academies, grammar schools and independents, with a volunteer mentoring offer.

Qualified staff offer guidance within schools and to individuals. Advice covers GCSE and A Level options, choosing college and university courses, career planning, finding apprenticeships, psychometric tests with feedback, interactive workshops, small group interviews, support at careers fairs and events for parents.

Adviza provides intensive support for vulnerable young people, and advises schools on how to achieve a careers education quality award and meet Ofsted requirements. They have services for undergraduates, graduates, and professionals seeking a career change. 

"We respond to the needs of the school; it is often appropriate to deliver a generic message relating to futures and careers education to larger groups and follow this with individual support. We can also find that young people with similar interests or strengths can benefit from a group interview, within which they can adopt a co-mentoring role. We are often invited to attend careers fairs to give impartial advice and to inform on professions not represented on that occasion."

Adviza offers a bursary for individuals who cannot afford to pay for their services.

      There are currently around 164 state funded grammar schools located in 36 English local authorities, with around 167,000 pupils between them. There are a further 69 grammar schools in Northern Ireland, but none in Wales or Scotland.

  • Schools for children with performing arts talents

    As proud parents, we all know our children are unique. They're smarter than anyone else's, funnier, certainly more attractive, better behaved and above all bursting with the kind of talent that would leave Daniel Radcliffe or Charlotte Church standing. And sometimes, just sometimes, parental pride is justified.
