These are skills that help you thrive in a workplace. They include things like:

You don't need to have a job to develop these skills. You're already building your skill set through school activities, participating in sports, drama, or other clubs. Perhaps you're volunteering or handling family responsibilities. All of these experiences are helping you develop valuable employability skills.

Activity:

1. Write down the employability skills in the image above.
2. Define any words you are not sure about. Hint: you can Google each term to make sure you get it.
3. Make a list of all the school, co-curricular and extra-curricular and volunteer activities you are doing that match these skills.

Hint:

Ability to work in a team:

• Work with fellow classmates to research a topic and present findings to class.
• As part of the school debating team, I work with three other teammates to unpack the debate topic, research key points, and develop our team argument. We function as a cohesive team during the debate.
• As part of the school basketball team, I have committed to regular team practice and game schedule. I work with the team to develop game strategies

Your turn. How many examples can you find for each skill?
