The DofE works with partners to help you turn the things you love into powerful lifelong skills that can help you get a job, change your community and take on anything life throws your way.

Not everyone knows what they’d like to do for their Skills section. You may want to develop your employability skills, learn something completely new, or access something interesting at no cost to you or your parents and carers. And that’s where our partners come in.

Sponsor a Skill is a brand-new initiative from the DofE designed to showcase skills that are popular and important to you. We will be partnering with a handful of organisations who are experts in these skills, to provide you with the free resources you need to support the Skills section of your DofE programme.

Like IBM, a global tech leader, who are supporting Skills for Employment.

IBM are giving you free access to IBM SkillsBuild, allowing you to:

• Choose from hundreds of professional and technical courses
• Add the recognised qualifications and digital badges to your CV
• Track progress and evidence of your Skills section (your Leader and Assessor can also see this if you give them access)
