What about the adults? 🤔

Six years on, and more than 101,000 users later... 🎉

As students across Plymouth receive their GCSE results today, we're reflecting on six years of Skills Launchpad Plymouth and the incredible city-wide partnership that has helped to better connect residents with opportunities for skills, training, education, careers and jobs.

Since launching in August 2020, the Skills Launchpad Plymouth website has helped over 101k users navigate their next steps, bringing together opportunities, information and support from across the city in one place. None of this would have been possible without the schools, colleges, universities, training providers, employers, careers services and community organisations who continue to champion Plymouth residents every day.

And finally, a special congratulations to our Skills Lead Emma's niece, who absolutely smashed her GCSEs today! 🌟 We know there will be some very proud celebrations this evening.

Congratulations to everyone receiving their results today. Whatever your next step, Plymouth is behind you.
