Welcome to SkillSeeder
Skillseeder was founded by four entrepreneurs David Ritchie, James Ritchie, Kerry Cowan and Simon Rigden. SkillSeeder creates new opportunities to learn and share skills. For every skill someone needs to learn, somebody else in their local community already has it!
Wherever you are located - if you have a skill to share, or a skill to learn, SkillSeeder can help.
If you are a skill sharer, use the app to list your workshop or course (ALL skills from ALL sectors are welcome). If you are a learner, use the app to search for/ book a course! SkillSeeder is the go to marketplace app to find in person or online training.
We're a skill sharing marketplace for all, not the few. Steered by Lantra the Scottish Government, we believe that everyone should have the opportunity to learn new skills.
