Employability Skills

This course covers the key stages of preparing for work, including career planning, making applications, and interview skills. You will explore your own strengths, interests, and goals so you can identify suitable job opportunities and make realistic plans for moving into employment. You will also develop the practical skills needed to search for jobs effectively and understand what employers are looking for. 

The course also focuses on helping you to produce strong applications and feel more confident at interviews. This includes writing and improving CVs, completing application forms, tailoring applications to specific jobs, and practising interview techniques through mock interviews and feedback. By the end of the course, you should feel better prepared to present yourself professionally and take the next step towards work. 

Assessment will be carried out through a workbook-style coursework approach, where you will complete practical tasks and activities throughout the course.
