Skills-for-Skills is a framework for employers and educators to support school, foundational programmes, college leavers and graduates to be successful in work and achieve their full potential. It is a validated foundational concept that "Eight core skills build other skills".
Work-related skills requirements are not static. Changing personal ambition, technologies, social and economic factors drive opportunity and a need for agility. The Skills-for-Skills framework is intentionally foundational to support an entire career of lifelong learning. It supports the transition from education to employment as well as entrepreneurs, gig, portfolio and internal lateral moves.
The Skills-for-Skills framework has been validated through a multiple method analysis from existing frameworks and academic research. This validation process will continue and will be longitudinal.
The Skills-for-Skills framework can benefit everyone, particularly less advantaged and underrepresented groups, through:
‘Skills’ is an important topic for employers, educators, regulators and governments. We believe that a data-driven framework, that is designed to distil the complex into the simple and has support from industry and academia is achievable. Skills-for-Skills could turn benefit global society , the competitiveness of economies and the diversity of labour markets.
Any framework of this nature needs to evolve and be continually validated. We have embarked on this endeavour with the input of experts, who will continue to validate data and approaches.
