Vocational Skills

Put simply, vocational education teaches you skills directly related to work.

By developing skills that are specific to a trade or job role, you can improve your employment prospects, get ahead in your current career… or even turn a hobby into a business.

Only 43 percent of young people in the UK report feeling prepared for employment, and a considerable 81 percent feel schools and colleges should teach more vocational skills and courses.

Add this to the fact that nine out of ten employers believe vocational skills are just as important as academic qualifications, and it’s clear something is wrong.
