In two parts, Skills for Employability - designed to be read in bite-sized chunks - will focus on some of the skills you need in order to impress an employer, stand out from the rest, become employed, and enhance your future.

Part One looks at the Pre-Employment skills needed.

Features of Skills for Employability Part One:
Each chapter details the Learning Outcomes and relevance to other qualifications such as Functional Skills, Life Skills and Employability Skills and in particular SSA 14.1 Foundations for Learning and Life & 14.2 Preparation for Work, and Functional Skills; all of which are linked to the Qualification Credit Framework (QCF).
At the end of each topic, there will be a series of short practical activities for self assessment for learners to see how far they have 'travelled' in gaining knowledge and understanding. In turn this will add to a sense of achievement.
All content will relate to the current gaps in knowledge& understanding and softer skills for those who are pre-employment e.g.
school leavers;
16-18 year old unemployed;
returners to work;
learners with disabilities who are seeking a change of employment;
in employment and seeking to enhance their prospects or between jobs.

The book has some illustrations to enhance text and links to websites e.g. for legislation. This will provide more interaction and variety for the learner and ensure currency. Adult Literacy and Numeracy will not be addressed in this book as there are many excellent books available.
