We have been working with the Inclusion Trust on their Facework Challenges resources introducing students to important soft-skills. They're designed with young people to nurture the attitudes needed for the adult world, allowing them to take responsibility and initiative.

These challenges are mapped to our Life and Living Skills, Employability and Cambridge Progression English and maths qualifications, offering a qualification outcome as part of the challenges.
