Nacro Education Awarded Skills Builder Gold Award

We’re delighted to announce that Nacro Education teams have been awarded the Skills Builder Gold Award.

Skills Builder Partnership provides a framework of essential skills which can be used by someone of any age and at any stage of their life and career. Nacro Education have used the framework to ask employers which skills they need – and to ask students about the skills they want to develop and improve.

This award puts Nacro Education among the top of a select group of schools and colleges who have demonstrated a significant commitment to building students’ essential skills. It is also notably significant given Nacro Education have had just one year of membership to Skills Builder so far. The result is a testament to all of the colleagues and students who have embraced the essential skills model and tools and integrated Skills Builder into what Nacro Education does.

Nacro Education gained this award by providing evidence of how they use the Skills Builder framework and the terminology.

Nacro Education will continue to work with Skills Builder in 2025-26 providing students with even more essential skill development opportunities.

Congratulations to everyone for making this award happen, with special thanks to @Daniel Adams for co-ordinating our Skills Builder partnership and for ensuring we all had the required evidence for the award submission.
