Skills for Work and Life

Vital skills we all need to keep developing and using throughout life.

Almost every job requires the ability to communicate and use numbers confidently, along with the capacity to problem solve and use technology effectively.

City & Guilds has been offering qualifications and resources to support the development of numeracy, literacy, language and employability for over 50 years. We got involved because we could see how learners without these capabilities were facing additional barriers when it came to their vocational learning and broader life chances.

Our maths, English, ESOL and Employability team has unrivalled expertise and experience, and includes our full-time Technical Advisor, Katherine Reid.

We organise regular virtual and in-person events to support tutors, coordinators and other working with our various maths, English, ESOL and Employability qualifications.
