DfE are launching a new campaign for The Skills Toolkit called ‘An Hour to Skill’. The campaign aims to inspire the nation to spend one hour a week learning online with The Skills Toolkit by highlighting the ease and benefits of accessing free, high-quality online courses.

By setting aside one hour a week for online learning, people can learn skills that employers are looking for, boost their job prospects and keep their mind active. At a time when we will all be spending more time indoors, The Skills Toolkit can also play an important role in supporting the mental wellbeing of our country.

Virtual Careers Fair

This is a Hounslow based partnership, in which all Secondary Schools in the borough are uniting with Spark! and other key partners, to host it’s first ever Virtual Careers Fair. This will be held on the 3rd March, to coincide with National Careers Week, and we are looking for as many employers as possible to take part.

The careers fair will be a chance for employers to engage with an entire borough of students, who over the past year have missed out on so many vital employability opportunities. Employers can take part simply by sharing resources, or recording a short video, hosting a Q&A session, or even giving a live address. Whatever time you can give will be very appreciated. Thank you very much to all who have already expressed an initial interest in participating, if you have yet to do so please complete this short form.

You’re not making any commitment at this stage, simply expressing an openness to take part. At the same time we are asking employers if they are able to consider taking on work experience placements during 2021. Not only is this an opportunity to help students understand employment opportunities and career pathways in your sector, but you’ll also be part of an interesting and innovative experience.

If you have any questions or thoughts on this please feel free to contact me on mattlent@sparkcharity.org.uk.
