Skills Builder

Skills Builder Partnership is a global movement of educators, employers, impact organisations and governments working together to ensure that one day, everyone builds the essential skills to thrive.

Their not-for-profit social enterprise grew from a single classroom in 2008. In the last year, it supported more than 1.8 million individuals in twenty countries to build their essential skills.

In 2020, they launched the Skills Builder Universal Framework – a transformative approach to building the essential skills of individuals throughout their lives.

Powered by more than 950 partners across education and employment, the Skills Builder approach reached more than 1.8million individuals in the last year. 

There are now Skills Builder partners in more than twenty countries spanning every part of the world. 

The launch of Skills Builder Global in 2025 has accelerated our efforts to learn from each other and have an ever greater impact towards our shared mission, ensuring that one day everyone builds the essential skills to thrive.
