What is Barclays LifeSkills?
In 2013 Barclays launched LifeSkills, which has led the way as the UK’s largest employability programme, with the aim of helping to tackle youth unemployment and inspiring and helping millions of young people to transition from education to work. For ten years LifeSkills has been giving millions of people the core, transferable skills, knowledge, confidence and connections they need to get into or progress in work.
Family Action and Barclays are working in partnership to help families and individuals overcome their challenges and build their confidence and employability skills for a brighter future. Family Action will deliver Barclays LifeSkills sessions and resources to families, to build the knowledge, core transferable skills, and confidence they need to get into or progress in work. Learning Support Grants will be distributed across the UK to provide financial support to parents and carers that want to begin or continue in education or training to increase their employability prospects.
