Barclays LifeSkills

Resource

Barclays LifeSkills provides educators with access to free online interactive resources, ready-made lessons and work experience opportunities. There are also tools, guides and films that young people can use independently or with their families.

Educators can select from 150+ hours of free curriculum linked financial education resources designed to fit into timetables, including a suite of lessons adapted for students with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) and children in care.

These resources cover topics from building confidence, identifying strengths, key money skills, developing the core transferable skills that employers need and enterprise challenges – to the practical elements of writing a CV and shining in an interview.

Top tips
  • LifeSkills is used most effectively when built into the school or college’s progressive careers programme.
  • Link to a programme of meaningful encounters to further embed learning and skills development.
