A New Way to Bring Your Skills to Life
At Startingpoint, we’re all about helping young people showcase who they are, not just through grades but through the real skills, experiences, and talents that make them unique.
That’s why we’re so excited to announce our brand-new partnership with Goald Challenges, an interactive, gamified app that turns skill-building into something fun, creative, and rewarding.
Together, we’re making it easier than ever to evidence your skills, boost your Startingpoint profile, and have a great time doing it.
What Is Goald?
Goald is a positive, safe, and moderated challenge app that helps young people take part in fun, meaningful micro challenges. Each challenge is designed to help you showcase skills that matter, like teamwork, problem-solving, communication, and creativity, while making a positive impact in your community.
It’s all about learning by doing. And with Goald, you can even win prizes and raise money for your school while you’re at it.
Why We’ve Teamed Up
Both Startingpoint and Goald share the same mission: to help young people build real confidence through evidence.
Startingpoint helps you create a verified record of your skills, projects, work experience, volunteering, and achievements, everything that tells your story.
Goald gives you the chance to add to that story through interactive challenges that turn learning into action.
By integrating Goald Challenges directly into Startingpoint, every activity you complete can automatically feed into your profile, giving you a richer, more authentic record of your skills.
How It Works
Every month, we’ll launch a new Startingpoint Challenge in the Goald App.
Each one will focus on a key skill that employers and educators value, from leadership and problem-solving to creativity and communication.
You simply complete the challenge in Goald, and your evidence will automatically appear in your Startingpoint profile.
No uploads, no stress, just a fun, engaging way to show what you can do.
And here’s the best bit:
- Each challenge is designed to be quick, creative, and enjoyable.
- Our favourite entry every month wins an amazing prize.
- Over time, you’ll build a well-rounded profile that truly reflects your abilities.
What Makes Goald Special
Goald isn’t just about fun; it’s about impact. Through the app, students can also take part in challenges that support fundraising for their schools, helping them learn about teamwork, social responsibility, and giving back.
It’s an inclusive, accessible, and positive way to develop the skills that really matter while making a difference.
Why This Matters
Employers and educators increasingly look for evidence of real-world skills, not just qualifications. By linking Goald with Startingpoint, students can now demonstrate these skills through real actions and experiences, all safely recorded, verified, and visible in their profiles.
It’s the perfect partnership:
- Startingpoint captures and evidences your development.
- Goald gives you the space to explore, challenge yourself, and have fun while you grow.
