You may have seen something about it already - but if not then we'd like to introduce, LifeSkills created with Barclays. This new programme is being supported by Mumsnet and is designed to help get one million young people ready for work by 2015.
For loads more info click here.
Barclays want to know from you:
~ What are the skills you think young people really need today to get them ready for the workplace, and do you think they are being taught them?
~ Do you think things were any better when you were at school? Have things improved?
~ And what was the one thing you wish you had known before starting out in the world of work?
