Skills Launchpad Plymouth

Working in a city-wide partnership, Skills Launchpad Plymouth offers a virtual one-stop-shop free skills service to help our people equip themselves with the skills and confidence they will need to play a part in our city's future, supporting those who are facing redundancy through the new Adult Hub, and offering targeted support for our young people through the new Youth Hub.

Whatever your age or circumstance, either through our Adult Hub or Youth Hub, we will:

Take you on a skills journey to share the latest employment picture of Plymouth to inform your choices.
Provide impartial information, advice, and guidance on accessing all available opportunities, including support for creating your own career and skills action plan.
Help you to become work-ready and equipped with the right skills needed to fill Plymouth's jobs right now and in the future.
By working closely with our local employers and training providers, we will help match you to real opportunities for pathways into employment, apprenticeships and traineeships, work experience, training, education, volunteering, and self-employment.

Alongside delivering this new virtual service, we also have plans to have a physical space.

Skills Launchpad Plymouth will be continuously developed as the go-to place for local skills support, providing orientation and up-to-date real-time job market intelligence so that local people can stay informed about real employment opportunities today and in the future.

The service will also offer comprehensive impartial information, advice, and guidance in order to match opportunities to pathways into education, training, apprenticeships, employment, work experience, volunteering, and self-employment.

As well as supporting local people, Skills Launchpad Plymouth's online Employer Hub brings together localised solutions to help address recruitment, employment, workforce skills, and training challenges. Aimed at helping local small to medium-sized companies as well as offering additional support for larger businesses, the Employer Hub provides advice, guidance, and access to information, setting out clear options to help employers better navigate the complex skills, training, and employment landscape.
