Project overview:

The Skills Builder approach uses a special curriculum focusing on eight essential skills: listening, presenting, problem solving, creativity, staying positive, aiming high, leadership and teamwork. The most recent Impact Report showed that 93% of teachers saw tangible progress in their students' skills through this approach. We need your support to expand this proven model to more schools across the country – and help more students acquire the essential employability skills they need to thrive.

‘It’s really important to embed these skills at a young age. The ability to communicate effectively, for example, is a key skill, and this takes time to build - therefore the more we do it at a younger age, the more chance they get to develop themselves.’ - Teacher, Immanuel College
