All the things students do, inside and outside school or college, can help them to acquire and develop key employability skills. Many students struggle to appreciate how playing in a band or organising a charity event can help them get a job.
Why not use the material available on the websites of some of the UK's major employers to encourage your students to create an enrichment diary that draws out their skills, competencies and personal qualities?
A good place to start: PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC)
“At PwC we're not just looking for one type of person but for those from many different backgrounds with a variety of skills. We're interested in talented students applying to us with strong academics but just as important are your employability skills”
During the autumn terms all sixth forms will receive a copy of PwC's employability brochure. The brochure is available from PriceWaterhouseCoopers website.
