Welcome to Building My Skills
Providing exceptional career guidance, changing perceptions, and helping students make informed decisions about their future.
Positive role models delivering timetabled workshops, interview experience and routes to positive destinations in a range of business sectors.
Building My Skills is a careers information and employability programme delivered collaboratively by business partners across North East England. Supporting the OneVoice People strategy, we work with educational establishments to ensure young people leave education with the right skills for work now and in the future.
Together we support schools, colleges and their students by providing good career guidance, changing perceptions, and helping students make informed decisions about their future.
Delivery Model
This year we launched a pilot, partnering with North East education providers to provide a full year group of Year, 10, 11, or Sixth Form students with 3 timetabled workshops culminating with an interview and opportunities day in June 2022.
Each workshop is delivered by a different guest speaker who provides students with an insight into their career and study pathway, the variety of roles within their sector, transferable employability skills ‘all’ employers value and introductory guidance to a task relating to the programme’s checkpoints of; Leadership, Design, Creativity & Technology and Business & Productivity.
Students who complete all checkpoint tasks will be invited to our regional interview day held at a central North East venue. This will provide a unique opportunity for students to build their employability portfolio, gain valuable interview skills and be signposted to positive destinations within the sectors of participating businesses.
All participating schools can access programme materials and additional resources via this digital platform to support their delivery of Building My Skills.
