You may hear a lot about Employability – but what exactly does it mean?
Employability is about making sure young people have the
skills, qualifications and personal attributes to get a job, preferably in a
sector they really enjoy.
Even though getting a job might seem a long way off, you
will already be developing your employability skills through any work
experience you do, writing personal statements, having college interviews and
choosing subjects in areas you might want to work in.
it’s never too early to start planning…
A new website has been launched offering practical advice to
young people getting ready for work http://www.whatemployerswant.org/
The British Chambers of Commerce will launch its ‘Your
Future’ programme this month which will hold 250 career events aimed improving the
career prospects of young people. http://www.britishchambers.org.uk/press-office/press-releases/career-skills-in-spotlight-as-schools-return.html
More useful links looking at skills and careers – they all
have suggestions about career options and looking for a job
