How the project works
A talented Keele student or graduate will work as an advisor within your organisation for a duration of 40-hours.
Offering an array of digital skills from social media support and market trend analysis to website development and artificial intelligence, the Digital Advisor team work to match an advisor to your organisation’s bespoke project.
The programme is fully-funded and exclusively open to small-to-medium sized businesses in Stoke-on-Trent and Staffordshire who are predominantly B2B.

"The Digital Advisor project is a fantastic opportunity to work with talented people who are able to analyse and advise in an area where you need help and support. It was a pleasure working with Alicia and I am really impressed and very grateful for the analysis work, help and advice she has given me, something that, as a sole trader, I was struggling to find the time and resource to complete."
