“At FIRST, we’re proud to be part of the Employment Partnership network, a hub of collaboration and growth. This platform not only shares insightful information but also genuinely transforms lives. It fosters a community where support leads to success, showcasing the power of collective efforts in enhancing the employment and self-employment landscape in the UK.”

“Networking is an important part of running a business, creating new opportunities, meeting like-minded people who want to make a difference to their business and local community.
The Northumberland Employability Network has most definitely supported Bernicia to uncover opportunities for growth and development that may have been missed. Being part of this network has allowed me to widen my professional circles and gain new perspectives by speaking to a range of different people”.

“Being part of the ‘Northumberland Employability Network’ has been a great decision for us! Vicki and Susan keep all members connected and updated regularly, which in return means greater opportunities for residents in the region. Our ‘Digital Business Pipeline’ programme is all about breaking down barriers and inspiring residents to explore creating a business within the technology or digital sectors via fully funded support, and this network strengthens our engagement outreach endeavours in a collaborative manner.”

“The Northumberland Employability Network has been a great asset to organisations who are delivering employability programs across Northumberland. I personally have found my role on the steering group extremely beneficial as it has helped to increase my knowledge and awareness of some of the issues faced by us all in the region. Face to Face networking events are very informative and focus groups are driving some good initiatives by working collaboratively to create change.”

“It has been extremely useful….they keep in touch with new funding/training opportunities which you might otherwise miss out on”
