Welcome to Skill Force

We are a dynamic education charity that delivers inspiring programmes that increase the numbers of young people entering education, employment and training on leaving school.  Our Long and Short courses help young people earn vocational qualifications, and develop life skills through appropriate and structured classroom and outdoor activities.

Instruction & mentoring is provided mainly by ex-armed forces personnel, who develop a close working relationship with their students and help to instill a culture of respect and mutual support. Skill Force programmes produce positive outcomes for students, improved results for schools and real benefits for the communities in which we operate.  In February 2009 the importance of our work was recognised when His Royal Highness Prince William of Wales became our Royal Patron.

Every £1 spent on Skill Force saves at least £17
