Developing skills for work

They like to know that the person they’re considering for the job is:

  • Reliable
  • Mixes well with other people
  • Works well in a team
  • Is confident using computers

These skills can be developed in many ways:

  • Leisure activities
  • Part time work
  • Voluntary work
  • Joining clubs
  • Participating in sport
  • Work Placements and Experience
