2 INTRODUCTION Employability Skills Framework For a number of years it has been recognised that there are key qualities, attributes and traits that people need to possess to be successful in both their studies and in the work place. The following Employability skills have been defined by business in collaboration with the Confederation of British Industry (CBI) as essential qualities which people require in addition to formal academic achievement: 1. Self Management 2. Teamwork 3. Business and Customer Awareness 4. Problem Solving 5. Communication and literacy 6. Application of numeracy 7. Application of information technology To ensure the effective transition into higher study, apprenticeships or other employment opportunities you need to be able to reflect on these seven attributes in order to continually improve your performance. 1. Self Management readiness to accept responsibility, flexibility, resilience, self-starting, appropriate assertiveness, time management, readiness to improve own performance based on feedback/reflective learning. 2. Teamwork respecting others, co-operating, negotiating/persuading, contributing to discussions and awareness of interdependence with others. 3. Business & Customer Awareness basic understanding of the key drivers for business success including the importance of innovation and taking calculated risks and the need to provide customer satisfaction and build customer loyalty. 4.
