As part of the employability training module, this exercise allowed us as a group to discuss the differences between employment skills and employability skills.
Employment skills were described as those relating to academic qualifications, subject knowledge/expertise, vocational, practical, trade skills and work experience.
In contrast, employability skills were described as the 'soft skills' needed to succeed and achieve in the workplace, such as personal skills, attitudes and behaviour (see list of employability skills).
From my own workplace experience, as an Auditor in the NHS, a Post Office Counter Clerk and a Secretary, I can appreciate the importance of equipping young people with the necessary skills to help them sustain and achieve positions of employment in an increasingly competitive employment market within the current economic climate.
As a teacher, I consider it part of my responsibility to promote and help learners to attain employability skills as well as their academic qualification with the purpose of preparing them for the world of employment.
