WorkSkills screenshot Helping 14-19 year-olds to develop practical, work-related skills is a rewarding way to give them a real head-start to finding and keeping a job.

With this aim, Edexcel has developed a flexible suite of WorkSkills units to help learners build their skills and recognise them with a formal qualification. And we’re delighted that WorkSkills e-learning units are available exclusively on vision2learn to help your learners study towards a Level 2 BTEC Award, Certificate or Diploma in WorkSkills.
