Barclays Life Skills

https://www.barclayslifeskills.com

Barclays life skills is a program set up by Barclays bank to be used in schools and in personal life to inspire young people to get more life skills that could help them through the transition from school to work. They work to help young people identify and developing personal skills, gain experience and tips on how to create a ‘toolbox’ for finding a job (CV, Covering letter, Linked In, Interview skills).

This is a good example of a project that has come about through the problem identified. It helps teachers, students, parents and businesses and encourages schools to teach work skills that are not part of the national curriculum.  The app and website have a layout and style that is easy to navigate and is a clever and clear example to a successful project to help education young people in and out of school.

I also found this case study that explains the success and future aims of this scheme which can help guide me through my project and help me define how I want to solve the problem of how can student learn more life skills.
