Deepen your skills to integrate 21st century skills into your teaching or school leadership.

Today's young people are growing up in a fast-paced world. As new technologies, labour markets and digital channels open up new opportunities, they also pose new challenges for the world's future citizens and workforce.

To be fully prepared for life and work in a global economy, it is essential that young people have the opportunity to develop the right skills.

Developed by the British Council and leading education experts, the training packages introduce participants to new interactive approaches and techniques while helping them to develop practical activity plans for use in the classroom. Teachers and School Leaders need to be empowered and enabled to create a learning environment where they can deliver teaching and learning which allows young people to develop core skills and competencies.

We also encourage school leaders to complete the Introduction to Core Skills for School Leaders course

What are Core Skills?

Core skills are the essential skills that young people need to be fully prepared for life and work in a global economy. Sometimes referred to as deep learning or 21st century skills, they introduce young people to new ways of working, new ways of thinking and new ways of living in a global world.

Developing these skills will help young people grow into creative and critical citizens, ready to shape the future for themselves and future generation.

The British Council is inviting applications from school leaders and teachers for the Core Skills Professional Development Programme. The training packages give participants the tools and approaches they need to ensure effective core skills provision in their schools, including strategies for planning, monitoring and improving teaching and learning and for mapping core skills across the curriculum.

How are these courses delivered?

Teachers who would like to take the course are required to complete the one-day Introduction to Core Skills Course. Once completed, they can then choose to complete any of the six Core Skills Courses. These are taught over a 4 to 8 week period, with a 2-day face-to-face session at the beginning, a period to implement a project plan, and another 1-day face-to-face session at the end. Online support will also be provided throughout the project implementation phase.

Learn more about each of the core skills featured in the training packages.

Core skills are five skills that are key to learning and working in today's world, identified by employers as the skills most likely to be needed in any work environment. This does not mean that every job will need people who are proficient in all five core skills but it does mean that every job will require some level of ability in some or all of these skills.

The five core skills are:

Communication

Numeracy

Information and Communication Technology

Problem solving

Working with others.

All five core skills must be included in the Modern Apprenticeship (MA) and applied at a minimum required level according to the level of the MA. In some instances, different levels may be acceptable but Sector Skills Councils (SSCs) would need to provide evidence to justify different levels. SSCs must provide the core skills signpost approved by SQA accreditation as a minimum.

Where the SSC believes core skills are embedded in the mandatory qualification and do not require separate certification, then a detailed mapping exercise must be included within the framework submission.

If core skills are not embedded in the mandatory units of the SVQ, they must be separately certificated; the relevant section in the Framework document should make this clear. Examples of core skills mapping

Follow the links below to view example of core skills mapping for different sectors at a range of levels. Please note that some of the documents may be an extremely large size, so bear this in mind if you intend to print them.

Agriculture at SVQ Level 2 and SVQ Level 3

Finance and Accounting at SVQ Level 2, SVQ Level 3 and SVQ Level 4

Horticulture at SVQ Level 2 and SVQ Level 3

Health and Social Care at SVQ Level 2 and SVQ Level 3 and SVQ Level 4

Children's Care, Learning and Development at SVQ Level 3 and SVQ Level 4

Guidance on core skills mapping and signposting can be found at the SQA Accreditation website.
