SkillForce is a national education charity dedicated to helping young people flourish through motivational mentoring and proven programmes tailored to students’ needs.
Drawing on our experienced team of instructors, most of whom served in the Forces, we partner with schools, academies and other education providers to improve self-esteem, raise attainment and equip young people for employment and for life.
Through a combination of on and off-site provision, our inspiring role models engage young people with the school curriculum or prepare students for key transitions into secondary education and then into the world of work.
Embedded in all our provision are the core values and life skills that enable young people to reach their potential whilst making a constructive contribution to society.
SkillForce is particularly proud of its nationwide Prince’s Awards, supported by our Royal Patron, HRH The Duke of Cambridge KG KT, with a reputation for developing confidence and resilience as well as leadership and teamwork skills within a culture of public-mindedness and community service.
“Our work transforms the lives of children and young people. It also has a profound impact on our former military personnel who have left the armed forces and now channel their skills into inspiring children to succeed and supporting teachers.”
Ben Slade, Chief Executive, SkillForce.
