About us
Welcome To UK Skills Awards
UKSA is an UK based training organisation established in 2008 for students, employee and employers. Our key objective is to offer a high quality service and assistance for our students to achieve employability skills to meet the contemporary employer needs. What are Employability Skills?
Employers are often looking for skills that go beyond qualifications and experience. Your education and experience may make you eligible to apply for a job but, to be successful in most roles; you will need skills that you are likely to develop over time. Some will be specific to the job, but the vast majority will be so-called ‘soft skills’ that can be used in any job or employment sectors. These soft skills are ‘employability skills’: they are what makes you employable.
We are also providing programmes in different areas of business management, tourism and hospitality, computing & system development, English, Health and Social care management Hairy Stylist and beauty therapy, Multimedia and Music. These qualifications are being developed to meet the industry standards with the employer led participation around globally.
