Rathbone and SkillBuild
|
‘It’s great for young people. It’s more laid back so long as you get things done - you get treated like an adult.’
‘I got tired of people bringing me down. When I came to Rathbone, the staff tried to understand and help me and I love being here.’
‘I had loads of distractions in the class room at school. I moved between two schools and I left with nothing. I did eight weeks of SkillBuild and then I did an NVQ. It really helped me.’
‘Rathbone has made me realise that I don’t have to go back to the past and I can move on.’
‘I would never have got my qualifications had it not been for Rathbone. I was a bit worried about taking on my course but with their help, I got myself a credit level.’

We get very positive feedback from young people who’ve join SkillBuild. They’ve told us how much SkillBuild has helped them.
For many young people learning at school was a turn-off and finish school with no idea of what they could do next. Some of the young people that we work with started a college course or job but found it unsuitable.
For many, there’s a lack of qualifications and a real skill gap which Rathbone, through a personalised work plan developed with each young person, helps them overcome. The small, supportive environment in our Rathbone Cymru centres helps young people develop self-confidence and build their self-esteem.
SkillBuild gives young people the practical skills and experience they need to get a job, to move on to further training like an apprenticeship or to go on to college.
What does SkillBuild contain?
- Practical basic skills to help young people in work and life
- Different activities like art, outings and sport that help build skills like team work or communication and develop self-confidence and self-esteem
- Practical work based NVQs
- Structured work placements that give an insight into different job roles and real work experience
- Support with job search, filling in job applications, interview skills and writing a CV
- References to help young people progress into work or college
Initial advice and guidance is a cornerstone of our work with young people and they tell us this is one of the best things about Rathbone.
How long does SkillBuild last?
