Employability Skills
Individuals require many skills to be career ready, including academic knowledge, technical expertise, and a set of general, cross-cutting abilities called employability skills.
Employability skills are general skills that are necessary for success in the labour market at all employment levels and in all sectors. These skills have a number of names — soft skills, workforce readiness skills, career readiness skills — but they all speak to the same set of core skills that employers want.
These skills fall into three broad categories:
•Applied Knowledge
The thoughtful integration of academic knowledge and technical skills put to practical use in the workplace
•Effective Relationships
The interpersonal skills and personal qualities that enable individuals to interact effectively with clients, coworkers, and supervisors.
•Workplace Skills
The analytical and organisational skills and understandings that employees need to successfully perform work tasks.
