Employability Skills
A range of partners work with schools to help young people develop and improve employability skills. Skills Development Scotland, Community Learning and Development, Employability and Skills Service, Further Education and Employers can all provide support and opportunities.
An Employability Skills Framework, developed with employers outlines the key employability skills required:
A positive attitude, the ability to self-manage, team working skills, business and customer awareness, the ability to think creatively and problem solve, good interpersonal skills, the ability to apply numeracy, communication and information communication technology skills, leadership and entrepreneurial potential.
Support could include:
121 support
group work sessions
employer mentoring
career management skills
wider achievement programmes
DGTAP’s Directory of Services provides information from schools, partners and services working to support the development of skills for life, skills for learning and skills for work in our young people. The directory can be used to search for services by the type of support required, your age or the stage of the employability pipeline you are at.
