Employability Package

This package includes 29 MS Word worksheets/ resources, 1 powerpoint guiding you through the resources and 2 powerpoints used as employability based starter activities.

The master powerpoint has been stripped of all logos and colours to allow you to add some jazz, but resources are explained.

Some resources are basic to allow for discussion and consolodation of leaning and some have prescriptive instructions.

Note: Slide 6 on the PP, refers to a workbook. This workbook is not part of this package and is available to buy within my resources. Please remove this slide, if you don’t wish to buy this resource.
