EMPLOYABILITY
understanding employability
|
For your students, its vital they understand what employability is and how it will be pivotal to them getting their desired career path.
With the use of comedy and fun games we can help your students reflect on not only what they want to do in the future, but what skills they already possess that can get them there. On top of that, students will learn what skills they may need to work on to become more employable. These self-reflections will aid students in making an informed choice on what pathway they want to take, whether that be through college, university or an apprenticeship, to get to their desired career path. Learning Objectives - Students identify their own unique drivers and skill sets - Match these drivers and skill sets to requirements of diverse careers - Understand the role of education, experience and training in developing employability, including their current studies, higher education and other pathways |

Application and interview skills - 'selling yourself'
|
Being able to confidently advocate yourself, whether to an employer or for higher education admission, is a skill that everyone can learn.
Push will look into the use of ‘showing rather than telling’ and how stories (not specific qualifications) can greatly illustrate a person's skill set. When students can reflect on their positive traits and skills they can apply that thinking in a ‘sales’ context; this could be for university applications, job applications, interviews or other situations. Through a dissection of TV adverts, we highlight the 3 key lessons of marketing to show what makes products successful. Ultimately, they will learn to be the best salesperson for a great product: themselves. Learning Objectives - Students will learn to see themselves from the perspective of an employer or university admissions tutor, understanding what makes them attractive as an employee or student. - Learn about Unique Selling Points and the importance of distinctiveness, matching to needs and being useful. - Grow in confidence as they realise how they are already a desirable and rounded person with potential to develop further. |
