The Skills for Work portal
The Skills for Work portal has been developed by The Open University in partnership with the Scottish Council for Voluntary Organisations (SCVO) and all 32 Scottish local authorities.
The portal aims to give young people the skills they need to enter the world of work, with a particular focus on the voluntary sector as a career path. Over 30 courses on the portal offer workplace skills including employability, leadership, communication and digital skills.
The courses, which range from two hours to 24 hours of training, also include skills for life such as managing money and specific modules for those interested in working in the voluntary sector.
