The team at Skills Builder are dedicated to the fourth Sustainable Development Goal - promoting lifelong learning opportunities for all. Their impact in this realm is not to be underestimated, having built partnerships with primary, secondary and SEN schools across the UK and abroad, as well as with employers from Uber to Birmingham Airport. These diverse organisations around the Skills Builder Framework - eight essential skills, which are instilled in school teaching to ensure that all children have the essential skills required to succeed in future. It's a system-altering venture, led by employees as passionate about their mission as they are about the organisation they work for.
