How do I complete it?

What is the Skills 4.0 Framework and why is it important?

The Skills 4.0 Framework says that Scotland’s workforce needs to constantly develop skills, knowledge and capabilities to thrive in this complex and ever-changing environment. We have designed the programme around the competencies or "meta-skills" that employers are seeking, so not only will you develop your leadership but you will boost your future employability.

It is open to any current GCU student, whether you study on the Glasgow or London Campus.
