10 EMPLOYABILITY SKILLS AND QUALIFICATIONS YOU SHOULD KNOW
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. The table below has been compiled by a range of UK-based
