How USTEER trains students’ soft skills

USTEER is a ground-breaking, tech-enabled course that trains 16-18 year olds to develop the soft skills needed to succeed in an apprenticeship, a university course, the workplace and life. Combining powerful psychological theory with an intuitive and insightful app, the USTEER course empowers students to take control of their own steering, setting them up for success at school, and beyond.

Why soft skills matter for school leavers…

Between 2013 and 2030 the number of graduates is set to double….

The huge increase in graduate numbers is going to increase competition for professional service jobs.

Education needs to provide new training to equip students with workplace-ready skills. At the top of that list are soft skills.
