Whether you're deciding what phone to buy or preparing for a job interview, knowing how to research well makes all the difference. But it’s not just about Googling — it's about asking the right questions, knowing what to trust, and turning information into action.
In this Digital Skills Programme, you’ll explore how research works in the real world — from the warehouses at Amazon to your school projects. Through interactive tasks and real examples, you’ll learn how to gather, analyse, and communicate findings with confidence.
Wherever you want to go, strong research skills will help you get there.
Employers value people who can think critically, dig deeper, and explain what they’ve found. Good research skills help you learn faster, make better decisions, and stand out — whether you're applying for a job, presenting an idea, or trying something new.
If you want to be confident in a world full of information, this is a great place to start.
Find out how research shows up in everyday life — from comparing prices to planning careers — and why it's about curiosity as much as facts.
Explore the key stages of research, including defining your goal, gathering information, checking sources, and sharing what you’ve found.
Discover how research is used across Amazon and in industries like tech, media, retail, and logistics — and the kinds of careers it supports.
Take on a real-world challenge. Use research to solve a workplace problem, compare sources, and present your findings clearly.
Reflect on your process, identify what you did well, and think about how you could apply research in your next school project or career step.
