Career Education
Skillcity. Built on the principles of equity, partnership, & sustainability.
Our mandate is to inspire, educate, and prepare students about their career options and provide them with career goals to aim for and achieve. We explain the entry route into industries and open their eyes to their career possibilities.
According to research conducted by the Gatwick Foundation:
“For young people to build a rewarding career and transition effectively into the world of work, they need three things”
One
Multiple encounters with higher education
Two
Information about how the curriculum links to their careers path
Three
Personalized plan based on their strengths and passions
Skillcity Institute, in collaboration with schools, invites employers into the classroom to speak to students about a wide range of different occupations.
Students will learn about:
Their career journey and what attracted them to their current role.
The different career options within their industry and the routes into them.
What subjects they’ll need to study and the qualifications they need.
What subjects they’ll need to study, the qualifications they’ll need, and potential salaries.

What people say?
Excerpts from testimonials gathered from Skillcity’s programs.
This program helped me to build a great list of resources. It was very well planned and well worth the time investment. I definitely feel more prepared and ready to tackle my next steps in my business venture. Also having these contacts is a great feeling, as it makes me feel like I have a support network already in place and a whole bunch of resources I can use to my benefit!"

Before this session, I really hadn't thought about my personal qualities, abilities and talents. Actually, I thought I had no talents at all, but now I see that I have some creative talents. I can now create video game stories with online tools, and even co-create with my friends, even if we can't meet up because of COVID-19. We can actually create video game characters and sell to big companies and make some money. This stuff is really cool."

"I was really getting bored and frustrated with the rules: 'don't go there', 'social distancing', 'you can't go out with your friends'... so many rules. Now, I have something to do with my friends online, we can create cool fun stuff online, and not have to worry about wearing masks or social distancing. That's what I really like about this Skillcity program.

Now I can have a little breather; while my kids are developing new skills and making positive connections at the same time. Wow! what a relief! Thank you Skillcity. I don't want this to end (lol)."
