Course description
Work Skills: Skills and Qualities for Employment
Every job needs skills and qualities. If you are working with young children you will need patience and energy as well as creative skills and imagination. If you are working in an office you will need to be organised, able to work with others and be able to follow instructions. If you are working in the construction industry you may need to enjoy working outdoors, working with others, carrying heavy loads and working at great heights.
In this unit you will learn the skills and qualities that you will need for different workplace activities. You will choose a job that you are interested in and find out the skills and qualities you will need if you want to do that job. Once you have identified these skills and qualities you will then need to look at the skills and qualities you have and how well they match to the job you have chosen. You will then plan how you are going to build on the skills and qualities you already have and learn new skills.
