Skills Connect facilitates the rapid reskilling of workers most impacted by Covid-19. It is designed in partnership with legal services stakeholders to enhance cross-sector employability and support people who have lost their jobs. It offers a suite of bespoke upskilling and training solutions, designed by solicitors for solicitors, aimed at supporting re-entry into the workforce.
