skillsbanner2.jpg

The Employability Skills Framework specifies eight skill groupings

communication skills that contribute to productive and harmonious relations between employees and customers

team work skills that contribute to productive working relationships and outcomes

problem-solving skills that contribute to productive outcomes

initiative and enterprise skills that contribute to innovative outcomes

planning and organising skills that contribute to long-term and short-term strategic planning

self-management skills that contribute to employee satisfaction and growth

learning skills that contribute to ongoing improvement and expansion in employee and company operations and outcomes; and

technology skills that contribute to effective execution of tasks.

Facets

Just as a competency is broken into elements, each employability skill has a set of facets which describe it in more detail.

These reflect different occupational and industry contexts, and will vary from qualification to qualification.

The facets for each qualification have been developed using either the ACCI/BCA Employability Skills Framework or the Generic Employability Skills Framework (IBSA Training Packages only)
