Redefining Education Together.
Join us to explore innovative project skills that will shape the future for children and adults alike.
These organisations have come together to change the lives of children everywhere.
Preparing future generations for an ever changing world.
Driven to breathe life into the UK economy by raising a new generation of young people who intrinsically have the skills and behaviours needed to learn, adapt and succeed in a world immersed in complexity, uncertainty and change. To do this we recognise that the biggest impact we can make is to start embedding and fostering capability while they’re young.
While there are obvious benefits in teaching tried and tested knowledge the educational syllabus needs strengthening to cope with new and evolving challenges that present real barriers once young adults enter the workplace. This is why we are developing a transformational new GCSE based on tried and tested Project Skills aimed at preparing future generations for life in and beyond education.
Aiming to future-proof the UK workforce by
starting young - building the capacity of
students to thrive in an unpredictable,
fast-changing world.
Projects themselves are collaborative by nature, bringing together people and skills from all walks of life to work together and deliver a better future. The team has researched, analysed and brought together a list of essential skills that will give future generations the skills and confidence to learn, grow and positively impact the people around them, no matter what they decide to do with their lives. These core skills are:
Self-awareness & active listening
Understanding your own feelings and
paying attention to others’ perspectives.
Defining project scope
Clearly setting goals and what needs to be done.
Systems thinking
Seeing how different parts of a project or problem connect.
Project thinking
Planning and organising tasks to reach a goal.
Problem solving & making decisions
Figuring out solutions and choosing the best option.
Identifying benefits & impacts
Knowing how actions will affect the project and people involved, and affect the world beyond.
Teamwork & planning
Working effectively with others and organising tasks together.
Identifying change & issues
Recognising when something needs to change and spotting problems early.
Understanding stakeholder
Knowing who is affected by the project and their needs.
Future visioning
Imagining possible outcomes and planning for the future.
Developing objectives
Setting specific goals to work towards.
Collecting, analysing, interpreting & using information
Gathering data, making sense of it and using it appropriately.
Governance & ethics
Following rules and making ethical decisions.
Identifying & analysing gaps
Figuring out what’s missing or needs improvement.
Adapting to change
Learning how to adjust plans when things change.
Reflection & learning
from experience
Looking back to learn from past successes and mistakes.
Estimating time & resources
Predicting how long tasks will take and what you’ll need.
Understanding uncertainty, risks & issues
Being aware of things that could go wrong or better than expected and planning for them.
Communication
Sharing ideas clearly with others – listening, speaking, writing.
The Skillsbuilder Universal Framework research in the UK showed low levels of essential employment skills - like communication, problem-solving, and teamwork - cost the UK economy around £22 billion in 2022. Students with strong literacy and numeracy, but weak soft skills, see lower employment, wages, and life satisfaction.
Our volunteers are all world class professionals. Their mission to make a lasting impact to people and society brought them together and now drives them forward with power and purpose.
