SkillForce has 10 years’ experience of inspiring over 50,000 young people to achieve at school and succeed in life. The Stepping On programme aims to help young people to continue to acquire and develop the four capacities; successful learners, confident individuals, responsible citizens and effective contributors, as well as improving further their skills for learning, life and work. The programme will do this by developing self-esteem and confidence, teamwork, communication and problem solving. In partnership with educational establishments, our programme will provide young people with a number of practical skills, and provide opportunities for young people to gain relevant qualifications so that they are prepared to enter further education, training or employment. Our programme could also lead to the young person achieving the SQA Employability Award.
