Hi John,
I hope you're keeping well.
We're delighted to share that our Skills Summary project will host the 'Foundations for the Future: Strengthening Core Skills in Young People' Conference on Friday, 5th December at the Wood Quay Venue in Dublin city centre.
Whether you’re new to transversal (soft/ transferrable) skills or already using Skills Summary in your work, this is a chance to dig deeper into the value and impact of the youth work you’re doing, connect with others supporting youth skills development, and to help shape vibrant, supportive Networks of Skills Champions for 2026.

This special event will:
- Celebrate youth work as a powerful space for transversal skills development
- Explore and highlight the value of transversal skills in employability, wellbeing, and personal development
- Launch the Network of Skills Champions: a new network for practitioners to connect and share knowledge and practice
- Hear inspiring stories from youth work practice, expert speakers and sector leaders
- ... and more!

Skills Summary is a free online platform for young people to learn about and measure their transversal skills gained through Youth Work and volunteering, and for youth organisations to measure impact. It was developed in partnership between the National Youth Council of Ireland, spunout and Accenture and in collaboration with young people, Youth Affairs and many youth and voluntary organisations across Ireland.
