Embedding Employability Skills

The world is changing and if we wish our students to thrive in the digital economy then reducing eleven years of compulsory education to a set of exam grades will leave them ill equipped. Companies are not waiting for GCSE or A Level subject knowledge to walk through the door. That knowledge already exists within their walls. They need employees who display the ability to add value to existing products and/or services or to develop new ideas and this requires confident employability skills and this manifests as the 4Cs of employability Critical thinking. Communication, Collaboration and Creativity. The OECD Learning Compass goal for 2030 emphasises the importance of personal development and personal skills as a major priority and focus for future curricula. Step ahead of the curve by embedding the 4Cs.
