Through platforms, tools and content, including Apprentice Connect and IBM SkillsBuild, the Foundation offers a range of information, advice and guidance to provide support and enhance opportunities for skills development.

Young people who have had a negative experience of education often disengage from learning altogether and can miss out on the opportunities and benefits of lifelong learning. A focus on learning is important at any age, but it’s especially important to help establish a positive connection towards it for those at a young age to ensure they continue to look for learning opportunities that will support their wellbeing as they progress throughout their lives.
