Course description
Work Skills: Self-Assessment
No matter what job you would like to do, employers want their employees to have a similar set of generic skills and qualities. Employees need to be able to communicate clearly and well with colleagues and customers, solve problems, work well with others, and have good organisational skills. They also need to have a positive attitude towards work, be enthusiastic, honest and willing to learn. Employers also look for those who have other skills such as an ability to work well with children or adults, practical skills such as drawing or constructing, creative skills or outdoor skills. These skills are also extremely valuable for your personal life. In this unit, you will have the opportunity to assess your strengths, weaknesses and skills needed for work and personal life. You will also look at how you can use what you learn from other interests to help build the skills you need for the workplace. By doing this, you will find areas that you are good at but you will also find areas that you need to begin learning and developing. You will identify different ways of learning and developing those skills and qualities and plan how you are going to improve these areas.
