How is my Current Profession Supported?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As simply demonstrated here all forms of work contribute to the development of  employability skills.

 

The IWC Committee have conducted an analysis of industries and occupations and determined what level of employability skills are embedded in each role.  These are used, in conjunction, with the Log Book, Work Book and WRT, to ensure you have mastered the employability skills concepts prior to your certification as an IWC Graduate.


Employers want "work ready" staff.  Organisations want to know that prospective employees can apply their technical skills in an effective way - this is demonstrated through - employability skills!

 

What are the eight key employability skills?

  1. Communication
  2. Planning and Organising
  3. Teamwork
  4. Problem Solving
  5. Technology
  6. Self-Management
  7. Learning
  8. Initiative and Enterprise

How does the IWC capture your employability skills?

 

No matter what form of work you are engaged in you are learning to master some or all of the employability skills.  Consider the example of a receptionist.

 


There are two broad types of skills needed to be a successful professional employee- technical skills (hard skills) and employability skills (soft skills).

 

Technical skills are the knowledge and competency to work in a specific occupation such as accounting, law, architecture and engineering.  Technical skills are normally learnt through formal study and recognised degree qualifications.

 

Unlike technical skills, employability skills are required in all industries and all professions.  Mastery of employability skills is the key to success, promotion and career progression!
