The context for developing learners' employability skills

The UK Commission for Employment and Skills (UKCES) defines employability skills as "the skills almost everyone needs to do almost any job."

Personal skills: self management, thinking and solving problems, working together and communicating, understanding the business.
Fundamental skills: Using numbers effectively, using language effectively, using IT effectively.
Positive attitude to work: positive approach.

These skills are relevant for all ages and for any work environment. Employability skills are important for those wanting to progress at work, thinking about career change, returning to work or seeking work following redundancy.

They then do the survey the following week. They the adapt the survey to the actual conditions on the day. They learn the strengths and weaknesses of the survey techniques and how to adapt in the field (an essential skill for applied ecology)

The students are given the freedom to research a case study of their choice and relate to identify politics and theory. They can also choose the research method either a report or essay.
