Employability Skills Update

The ‘Reframing the Future’ project has identified Employability Skills as a priority area in need of resources that will help educators understand the implications and responsibilities associated with the introduction of Employability Skills into all new training packages.

They've produced a new CD that helps you go straight to the information you want. It's organised around 4 Questions:

What the Employability Skills agenda is and where has it come from?
What is required for planning, delivery, assessment and reporting?
What skills does the VET workforce need to assist students to progress their Employability Skills?
What Professional Development is required? *

Whether you know nothing or a lot about Employability Skills you’ll find something here. There is everything from a basic run down on what Employability Skills cover, to resources to help you modify your existing assessments and record evidence.

There's a great Self Assessment* tool for you to consider your own Employability Skills, and of course much much more.

It's one of the most user friendly resources we've seen on Employability Skills. Just ask the Library staff for a copy and off you go!
