The durable skills tool
Uncovering the skills already there.
Hidden Skills helps young people name what they already do, and helps schools, youth organizations, and employers see it.
How it works
Hidden Skills makes them visible.
The tool sits on top of any existing program or activity with no new work for staff.
01
Students reflect
Each week, students record a 3 to 5 minute audio reflection on a prompt tied to their experience.
02
Hidden Skills analyzes
Each reflection is mapped against a research-backed durable skills framework. Skills are identified using the students' own words.
03
Everyone gets a report
Students receive weekly personalized reports via text message. Partner organization receives cohort-level reports for program improvement and stakeholders.
Two outputs
Designed for students and the organizations supporting them
For learners
Durable skill reports built for life
Our tool creates individual reports that define a young person's strengths, giving them the language to showcase their unique abilities to academic and career recruiters.
Partnership data
Group analysis that proves outcomes
We provide partners with deep insight into collective progress, offering the clear evidence required to demonstrate program success to donors and the wider community.
