Introduction and Overview

Young people listening to a male employee talk about his work at Hounslow Highways.

The Skills Builder Partnership works with organisations across the world to ensure that every person is able to build the essential skills that they need to succeed.

Listening, speaking, problem solving, creativity, staying positive, aiming high, leadership and teamwork icons.

We have seen some incredible examples of organisations who have supported individuals to build their essential skills, whether that be through their programmes or provision across a range of themes including Arts, STEM, Youth and Careers and Employability.

This Guide is designed for use by organisations who want to support individuals to develop their skills as part of their employability provision.

This guide is a good starting point to help you feel:

confident to use the Skills Builder Universal Framework and the accompanying resources
supported to incorporate essential skills development into your existing provision
encouraged and inspired to include essential skills development in your future provision

This Guide is filled with ideas, examples of best practice, links to resources and video case studies from other organisations who have already embedded essential skills development in their provision. Some of the examples might be directly applicable, while some may help to give you an idea of how you can use the Skills Builder Framework to add further detail and focus to your existing provision.

We hope this provides a helpful additional tool in your important work.
