6 Page 6 of 12 ATTACHMENT I EMPLOYABILITY SKILLS Employability Skills are the skills that a student must develop and demonstrate competency throughout a range of work situations and over the range of units of competency undertaken during the course. Students are assessed on their employability competencies/skills. They include: 1. Collecting, Analysing and Organising Information A person defines the needs of the audience and the purposes of the information, critically investigates sources to identify the information required, distils the relevant information, identifies within information the main organising categories, and structures and evaluates the quality and validity of information. 2. Communicating Ideas and Information A person chooses the mode and form appropriate to the context and audience, revises and evaluates the communication in the light of feedback, varies style of presentation to suit a variety of contexts, uses ideas to interpret and represent information in a variety of contexts and adapts ideas and information to unanticipated responses from audiences. 3. Planning Organising Activities The capacity to plan and organise ones own work activities, including making good use of time and resources, sorting out priorities and monitoring ones own performance. 4. Working with Others and in Teams A person defines purposes and objectives to be achieved by working with others; establishes roles, procedures and time frames taking into account different perspectives; negotiates with others to define objectives and, where necessary, to monitor and redefine them. 5. Using Mathematical Ideas and Techniques A person clarifies the purpose and objectives of the activity, recognises the assumptions that need to be made in order to apply an idea and technique, adapts the idea and technique to fit the constraints of the situation, makes decisions about the level of accuracy needed to resolve competing demands and interpret and evaluates methods and solutions. 6. Solving Problems A person establishes major factors affecting processes and outcomes; adapts and manipulates processes to achieve appropriate completion; anticipates problems, opportunities and conditions under which they arise; and establishes and uses criteria for judging effectiveness of process and outcomes. 7. Using Technology A person defines the purposes and objectives for the use of technology, transfers technological principles to a new situation, configures and manages a series of operations as a process, selects technological practices to maximise socially and ethically responsible use of technology, and uses technology principles to reduce constraints presented by environs and physical capacity.
