Skills in the making
Boosting the work readiness of young people is one of the significant challenges of our time. Barnfield College is committed to addressing the skills needs of employers.
Employers want access to a pool of talent that’s alert to the expectations of the modern workplace. Students need professional experience of working life as part of their education and development.
That's where Skillmakers comes in.
The Skillmakers network brings education and employment closer together – creating a pipeline of young talent with the skills that businesses need.
Skillmakers are employers and people from industry who are dedicated to the development of skills in young people and adults alike, each year we recognise those employers who are leading the way for local people by shaping education, developing workforce skills and generating employment opportunities.
What's in it for me?
- You'll be at the forefront of the skills agenda, feeding directly into our curriculum to ensure that young people have the skills you value most
- We will ceritificate you as a 'Skillmaker' employer, you'll receive a physical certificate and badge that can be added to your LinkedIn profile
- Join an exclusive network of Skillmaker employers for invitation-only events, celebrations and awards.
If you're interested in finding out more about what it takes to become a Skillmaker employer then please contact Beth O'Connell.
