Are you looking for employability skills resources to help in your VCE VM, VPC or Transition to Work program?

Employability skills are vital for success as students make a transition from school to further study or work. Employability skills are sometimes known as soft skills or power skills. Teaching young people about employability skills helps them know how to navigate tricky situations at work, get along with other people and plan and organise their tasks. 

​

Here are some of the key employability skills to teach in your VCE VM, VPC or Transition program:

• Communication

• Problem solving

• Teamwork

• Leadership

• Personal organisation

• Working with diverse teams

• Using digital tools

• Creativity and innovation

• Initiative

​

Employers say that employability skills are often the single most important reason that a young person gets a job - and they are so easy to teach! Employability skills games, activities and direct teaching, supported by visual poster displays can help build employability skills before students leave high school.
