Associative structures area. It offers consulting services and technical assistance to training institutions and companies with the planning, creation and accounting of training projects.

Knowledge&Innovation Unit. In the role of a genuine R&S division and ideas and experimentation laboratory, SIAV carries out test activities for innovative methodologies and processes in the field of business training and consulting. These experiences are then shared in the territory with the support of provincial associations.
