Description
Employability skills resources for life skills help students get ready for work and they are essential for students in Life Skills, Transition and Vocational Programs. Your high school students will love using these employability skills activities and work readiness resources to build their knowledge and practical skills before work experience, as part of a job readiness program or to help with career planning for the future.
Many young people wonder how it is that some people seem to find and keep work easily, while others often struggle to land their first job. The answer is often being job ready and developing the employability skills (also known as soft skills) which allow a young person to thrive at work, rather than merely survive.
What are employability skills?
Employability skills are the core competencies that help young people use in a workplace every day. And while we are often very good at teaching the academic and technical, knowledge-based subjects that help prepare a young person for further study and work, sometimes we forget to teach them about how to be employed. Using employability skills resources for life skills learners helps them make the connection between classroom learning and the real world of work, community activities and independent living.
What are the key employability skills to teach?
Employability skills include skills like:
- using digital technology
- communicating with others
- solving problems
- working in teams and groups
- using innovation and creativity
- working effectively with people from diverse backgrounds.
We know that employers deliberately look for young people who can demonstrate good employability skills - often through their work experiences, part time jobs, sporting and recreation groups and community or volunteer work. And far too many employers say that young people who enter their workplace do not have good employability skills when they leave school.
What's included?
This employability skills resources for life skills bundle contains 21 employability skills resources that are perfect for teens and young adults. They will help you deliberately and purposely teach employability skills:
- posters
- printables and information pages
- employability skills passport
- digital activities
- classroom activities
Plus a bonus work safety word wall with 60 safety words to display in your classroom or on a bulletin board.
Many of these resources are ideal to use as a print or digital option, using the Easel overlays included for students to enter their answers. This can be a great option if you and your students need to suddenly transition from face to face to remote learning with little notice - so students can keep their learning going without the disruption.
