Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Developing Employability and Enterprise shows how to help others develop the behaviours and attributes needed to thrive in the modern workplace. It offers coaches, career advisors and educators a complete guide to what employability looks like in the 21st century, both for new entrants to the world of work and those finding themselves in situations where they need to secure a new job or even career. The book shows how employability can be measured and how skills and attributes such as resilience, confidence, motivation, dealing with others, overcoming challenges and entrepreneurship can be developed through coaching and mentoring. Supported by the latest research from academia, government bodies, and practitioners, Developing Employability and Enterprise brings together some of the most influential thinkers around the world to offer a new approach to career management that looks beyond simply offering advice on résumés and CVs, job applications, job searches and interviews. It offers practical guidance on what attributes to develop and tools for how to do this including assessment options, sample exercises, notes on how to use the concepts in practice and global case studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the title of the book (The Economics of Skills: Pathways of Employability) goes by, it is all about the economics of skills and the relevance of the skills for exploring the newer frontiers of the employability. Christopher & Taylor have explained how pre-graduation on-campus employment can determine the development of employability skills in the graduates. The role of academic institution for the inculcation of the marketable-skills among the graduating students has also been highlighted. The book goes by Sharma explaining how the Skills Development is important for an economic system. The book stresses upon the fact that developing skills is equally important for the graduates looking for their first employment (by skilling them) as well as for the existing workforce (by re-skilling them). The transformational leadership as one of the skills of an entrepreneur has also been advocated by Rono Kiplangat Kenneth. The book goes by highlighting the importance of proficiency in English as one of the key employability skills for the tourism & hospitality sector in Philippines (Cenby Eppie G. Gaytos et al.). The role of mobile technologies and their relevance for the next generation learners has been discussed by Pratibha underlining the role of modern communication technologies for achieving employability skills as learning enablers. The book consists of content to present the importance and relevance of employability skills and the ways the same could be achieved. The book successfully correlates the employability skills and their importance for generating employment, entrepreneurship and value creation opportunities within an economic system.

Book excerpt: In the struggle against unemployment and marginalization, employability has become the one major tool to counteract this phenomenon. Those who have no chances to develop or enhance their employability will fail in the competitive labor market of the new economic order. While the notion of employability is not exactly new, the weight now being placed upon it is new: to equip job seekers for the far-reaching changes currently taking place in the economy and the world of work. What is at stake? Is employability an instrument for the regulation of the labor market, distinguishing between the employable and the unemployable? Or is it a set of measures to facilitate the insertion or reinsertion of workers into the workforce? Is employability in the future the defining policy framework for labor market policies? What are the consequences of such a development for policy makers? Employability: From Theory to Practice addresses these questions. Its internationally renowned authors provide a valuable contribution to the conceptual and operational content of the notion of employability. The form and content of measures of employability vary by state, but represent a general trend. Part 1 deals with the concepts and instruments of employability. Part 2 evaluates measures implemented in a number of countries to improve employability of job-seekers. The countries involved are the UK, the Netherlands, Belgium, Ireland, New Zealand, Poland, and Slovakia. Part 3 showcases a practical approach with Canada, which in 1996-97 moved from an unemployment to an employment insurance. This volume shows both the possibilities and limitations of measures to promote employability. It helps clarify complex policy questions which will contribute to a better understanding of the concept for policy makers and administrators. It will help policy makers, professionals, and scholars assess current trends in the workplace.

Book excerpt: This book is about SOARing to Success: a pedagogy that engages individuals in a structured and supported process of personalised learning, leading to the development of transferable career management and employability skills. The SOAR model (as it has come to be known and used) provides tried and tested ways for educators to implement Personal Development Planning (PDP), Career Development Learning (CDL) and employability agendas. The theoretical concepts and practical activities that are interpreted and integrated within SOAR require all learners to make meaningful dynamic connections within and between Self, Opportunity, Aspirations and Results, through inbuilt requirements for self-reflection, action and interaction, research, analysis and synthesis. Especially relevant for regeneration in the post-pandemic world, this fully updated edition emphasises and addresses the needs to: focus more broadly on multidimensional employability, enterprise and entrepreneurship take account of post-Covid-19 educational and employment landscapes, changing labour market realities and employers’ technology-enabled recruitment methods engage proactively and positively with ways to strengthen resilience, health and wellbeing in ourselves and others tackle academic learning and assessments with digital research and information literacy skills be(come) adaptable and/or adaptive according to the demands of different contexts co-create (with social enterprise and business skills) a better world in which self-actualisation aligns with the actualisation of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals reflect globalisation in the internationalisation of higher education (HE). Packed full of useful practical features, this text and its e-resources will help all staff and education development professionals, teachers in HE and advisers to motivate and enable students to relate their learning and achievements to the demands of life and work in our times.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brilliant Employability Skills emphasises the need for students to create their own individual employability profile and brand in order to compete successfully in today’s highly competitive market place for graduate jobs. It is just as important to be able to market yourself as it is to secure your degree. In todays’ job market having a degree is just one piece of the puzzle. A good degree no longer sets you apart from other candidates – this book will provide you with the tools and techniques to allow you to gain and communicate the range of employability skills and behaviours that will make you stand out form the crowd and get the job that you want. The market and demand for practical books on employability is increasing in the UK where the introduction of, and increase in tuition fees and the resulting high levels of student debt are forcing Universities to ensure that their graduates can compete successfully in the graduate job market. This book will focus on students in their first and second year of study, although the tools can equally be applied to those students in their final year and masters programs. The book will aim to encourage students to start creating their employability skills from the commencement of their studies.
