Skilful

Introducing Skilful

Skilful is a personality-based, online platform that builds the selfawareness, confidence, independence, and employability of learners by providing practical advice on how to play to their strengths, manage their downsides, deal with stress, work as part of a team, etc. It supports their behavioural development, underpinning the mandatory ‘behaviours’ aspects of apprenticeships and in helping all learners make the most of their learning experience and transition successfully and more seamlessly into the world of work.

It supports and develops tutors as practitioners, by providing insight into their own personalities and the dynamics of their tutor groups, with practical advice on lesson planning, adapting their own style to particular groups for optimal learning, as well as in providing 1-1 support for individual learners.

Skilful supports training providers in enhancing and tailoring the learner experience, improving learner attraction, retention and maximising learning outcomes for life and work, beyond the subject matter.

Learner self-discovery and advice

Learning modules built around learners’ individual personalities, to build self-awareness and selfconfidence, with practical advice on:

Personality profile
What you’re really like
Where you’re great
Your personal strengths, what are you brilliant at?
Where you might struggle
Things that don’t come naturally, that you will have to work at
What stresses you out
What situations cause you stress and how to manage them
Learning and being taught
How you best learn, how to make learning work for you
Teamwork
Understanding your impact and how you contribute in a team
Friendships
What are you like as a friend? What do you need in friendships?
Jobs and Careers
What kind of work activities and job roles will you be most successful at?
Work Environments

Learning about peers and friends
Through comparing with others, learners develop an understanding of their unique strengths and contributions, as well as those of their peers. They are encouraged to value differences as they learn how to adapt to one another, lean on each other and see the true meaning of teamwork.

Supporting Tutors

Every tutor brings their own personality and experiences to their work, and to the way they engage with learners. Skilful provides tutors with:

Insight into their own personality and most natural teaching style, and how to adapt
An understanding of the dynamics at play in different learner groups to be able to tailor lesson plans and manage the groups
Support on engaging with individual students and bringing out the best in them
Track learner’s progress through their bespoke learning modules
