Improving your career fit

Inova has developed programmes and interventions aimed at helping individuals develop the careers they want, particularly for individuals who see their career fit as being self-employed. Inova uses career counselling tools and techniques to work with individuals on a one to one and group basis to help them reflect on their skills and experiences to date and how to transfer these into new employment/self-employment opportunities. We specialise in working with individuals returning to work following a career break for any reason.

Please see below for our portfolio of completed projects in this area.

We also have current UK and International career SOS projects.

FEPIC: Female Engineers Pushing Innovation in Companies

Inova was the UK partner in this European Commission project running from 2008-2010 exploring the needs of female students looking to become leaders in Engineering. The project also undertook research with current female leaders/managers in Engineering to gain their input on the development of an online training tool to develop leadership skills for female undergraduates. The project was managed by the University of Bologna, Italy and brought together partners from 6 countries across Europe.

Eu Return: Innovative Career Development Support for Women Returners

Inova was the Co-ordinator for this Transfer of Innovation project, funded through the Leonardo da Vinci's Lifelong Learning Programme from the European Commission (2008-2010). The project transfered Career Circles™ to assist women returners looking to return to the workplace to partners in Denmark, Portugal and Romania and to different sectors and groups such as the long term unemployed.

Personality Profiling for University Graduate Entrepreneurs

Inova has provided personality profiling services for graduate entrepreneurs from Sheffield Hallam University who feel they are at a cross-roads in their business development or are looking for additional support in their personal development. Personality profiling focuses on an individual's work-based styles of behaviour and can be a useful tool for self-reflection and to provide information which individuals can use to inform their business development. Individuals complete a personality questionnaire and receive a confidential feedback session from our Work Psychologist.
