Employability skills

If you are designing a resource that will be used by learners completing a national VET qualification, then you should consider employability skills in your design. Employability skills are a broad range of skills that are not related to a specific job, but still play a significant part in helping individuals be successful in the workplace. The Australian employability skills are:

• communication that contributes to productive and harmonious relations between employees and customers
• teamwork that contributes to productive working relationships and outcomes
• problem solving that contributes to productive outcomes
• initiative and enterprise that contribute to innovative outcomes
• planning and organising that contribute to long-term and short-term strategic planning
• self-management that contributes to employee satisfaction and growth
• learning that contributes to ongoing improvement and expansion in employee and company operations and outcomes
• technology that contributes to effective execution of tasks.
