THE CUTLERS'S SKILL SET!

WHAT SKILLS DO EMPLOYERS ACROSS THE WORLD WANT FROM YOUNG PEOPLE?

CHALENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES: AUTOMATION, GLOBALISATION AND COLLABORATION!

THE GATSBY BENCHMARKS!

The Cutlers' 'Better Learners, Better Workers' programmes will help school's Careers Leaders deliver a lot of the statutory requirements around the Gatsby benchmarks. 

We can help schools address the needs of individual students, particularly those on pupil premium and from harder to reach communities. We can provide up-to-date, local and relevant carers advice and labour market information. We can provide high quality experiences of the workplace and  encounters with employers and employees.  We can also provide encounters with higher and further education. Importantly, we can also provide each targeted student with a business mentor who will work with the student during the programme to support them as they develop the skills needed to thrive and succeed in the world of work.

THE DFE CAREERS STRATEGY: MAKING THE MOST OF EVERYONE'S SKILLS AND TALENTS!

Importantly, the DfE see that skills matter and that we all need to make the most of everyone's skills and talents. This important principal lies at the heart of the Cutlers 'Better Learners, Better Workers' programmes and we will be celebrating the achievements of 169 young people on Wednesday evening at the Cutlers Hall in Sheffield! These talented, wonderful, creative and determined young people have worked with us to develop the skills that matter over the last two and a bit years and employers in the Sheffield City Region recognise them as the future!!

SKILLS ARE THE FUTURE!

I was listening to the news this morning focusing on Amazon’s new store, Amazon Go. It doesn't work like a typical Sainsbury’s or Tesco supermarket — instead, it's designed so that shoppers will use an app, also called Amazon Go, to automatically add the products they plan to buy to a digital shopping cart; they can then walk out of the building without waiting in a checkout line.

With technology advancing and the world rapidly changing, it’s only logical that the skill set needed for jobs in the future is, too. While the digital world is growing, skills like communication, problem-solving, teamwork and resilience are becoming more and more valued. These are the skills at the heart fo the Cutlers' 'Better Learners, Better Workers' programmes and young people will increasingly need them to thrive and succeed in the world of work.
