Employability Skills Toolkit - Students

Employability is the ability to gain and keep employment and employability skills are not the academic qualifications or vocational skills needed for a specific job role.

Within this programme you will find advice and help to develop your knowledge (what you know) and skills (what you can do) to improve your chances of finding the job you want in the automotive sector and to build it into a lasting career.

If you are still thinking about which job you want to aim for then have a look at the IMI Autocity website www.autocity.org.uk to learn more about the great range of jobs available in the automotive sector.

The information used to put this pack together comes directly from the sector with employers telling us what they are looking for from young people applying for their first job or training place.

The Employability Skills Toolkit is split into six modules with sections for teachers and trainers, as well as students.
