The City & Guilds of London Institute has entered a landmark agreement with global leader in education and assessment PeopleCert, marking a pivotal moment in which our revenue-generating activities will be enabled to access greater investment, and have greater impact moving forwards. This strategic move will also enable the Foundation to focus even more sharply on its charitable mission — championing skills development, increasing access to opportunity, and supporting those furthest from the labour market.

Our Mission:

Removing barriers to getting a job, celebrating best practice on the job, and advocating for jobs of the future.

Supporting people who face barriers to developing skills and sustaining employment:

We seek to tackle these challenges and maximise our impact through the provision of Funding, Awards, Resources and Campaigning.

Innovate, Celebrate and Evaluate:

Each of the programmes we run act as a catalyst for us to make a difference to people, organisations and society through investing our surplus into helping everyone, no matter who they are or where they come from, get opportunities to succeed.

Working with individuals, charities and employers:

The City & Guilds Foundation aims to innovate, celebrate and evaluate opportunities that make a real difference in people’s lives, supporting everyone to succeed, no matter who they are or where they come from.
