For over 140 years we have worked with people, organisations and economies to help them identify and develop the skills they need to thrive. We understand the life changing link between
skills development, social mobility, prosperity and success. Everything we do is focused on developing and delivering high-quality training, qualifications, assessments and credentials that
lead to jobs and meet the changing needs of industry.
We partner with our customers to deliver work-based learning programmes that build competency to support better prospects for people, organisations and wider society. We create
flexible learning pathways that support lifelong employability, because we believe that people deserve the opportunity to (re)train and (re)learn again and again – gaining new skills at every
stage of life, regardless of where they start.
As a Royal Chartered Institute and a registered charity, everything we do is charitable. We invest our surplus into targeted acquisitions and expanding and enhancing our solutions across all of our
brands, to meet the changing needs of organisations and industries. We collaborate with industries and governments to campaign for systemic improvements across the global skills training system.
Through our City & Guilds Foundation we amplify our purpose by focusing on high impact social investment, recognition and advocacy programmes which remove barriers to getting a job,
celebrate best practice on the job and advocate for jobs of the future.
The City & Guilds community of brands includes Gen2, ILM, Intertrain, Trade Skills 4U, Kineo and
The Oxford Group.
