We welcome an alumna of the (sadly departed) Teach First Cymru programme today. Bethan Jeffers has now moved sideways into a job working for the Skills Builder Partnership. Set up by Tom Ravenscroft (not, as Tom initially thought, the music broadcaster and son of the late Radio 1 DJ John Peel, but an educator, strangely enough), Skills Builder aims to provide businesses and education institutions with a framework to recognise those all-important basic skills that are so vital for getting on in the world of work. In providing a framework for skills, the partnership aims to give an incentive for schools to track and acknowledge progress in these skills, while also providing a common language about skills for educators and the world of business.

You can find the partnership at www.skillsbuilder.org, where you can access the Universal Framework and many free online tools and resources. If you're interested in the Accelerator support programme that includes strategic support and training head to www.skillsbuilder.org/accelerator. Each year there are fully funded places available, most have gone for the 22/23 programme now but you can still apply by the 8th of July and be put on the waiting list to be in with a chance! Also, Bethan is happy to answer any questions if you want to drop her an email: bethan.jeffers@skillsbuilder.org
