SUMMARY

Employability Skills can be defined as the
transferable skills needed by an individual to make
them ‘employable’. Along with good technical
understanding and subject knowledge, employers
often outline a set of skills that they want from an
employee. These skills are what they believe will
equip the employee to carry out their role to the
best of their ability. Employability depends on your
knowledge, skills and attitudes, how you use those
assets, and how you present them to employers.
