This study is structured to revisit and track existing educational skills, personal and technical abilities and to produce a Swot report to evaluate student’s skill sets within Skill Audit Analysis and areas of improvement. Moreover, in this report the author will explain what is Mental Wealth and its importance for personal and career development.

Definitions of mental wellbeing involve intrinsic well-being, presumed self-efficacy, flexibility, maturity, intergenerational dependency, and awareness of the capacity to appreciate one's emotional and intellectual capacity. This has also been described as a condition of well-being in which people share their talents, can deal with usual daily stress, function effectively in the society, and contribute to their cultures. Mental wellbeing is about improving the qualities of people and families and helping them to accomplish their own goals (WHO, 2003).  On the other hand, Mental-Wealth is a combination of Mental Health and Mental Wellbeing as well as the individual’s ability to increase its overall wellbeing.

According to Johnson & Freeman (2014), Competencies are known habits, talents, qualifications and experience that have a significant and beneficial effect on the performance of workers and organisations. Competencies can be objectively assessed, reinforced and enhanced by coaching and learning experiences. Moreover, competence is the ability to implement or use a collection of similar expertise, knowledge and skills used to effectively execute "essential work tasks" or activities in a given work environment. Not to be confused with competence, competency defines actions, but does not claim to explain the quality of success (Hoge, et al., 2005).

Defining the Mental Wealth Competences the U.S Department of Labour described in Dunphy (2012), came to a conclusion that the mental health sector is constantly changing and how important is to debate and investigate employees competences that can be both universal and precise.  Furthermore, the concept of Mental Wealth Competence is the ability of an individual to look after its Mental Health and Wellbeing that encompasses the elements of social, moral, physical, emotional and cultural wellbeing. All these terms are related to people who we are associated with and the world in which we work, live, play and study. Moreover, worldviews of Mental Wealth Competence can include association with relatives, community, cultural values and identity and language (Price, 2019).

Despite the degree of technical growth in the workforce, hospitality and tourism companies remain primarily dependent on labour-intensive companies (Baum, et al., 2016). Furthermore, according to Adeyinka-Ojo (2018), the Hospitality, Events and Tourism Industry requires a set of skills that the author separated as: employability skills, soft skills and hard skills

The purpose of Personal Skills Audit for me is to consider my professional, academic, and personal skills that will help me develop all areas of my life. Moreover, this analysis will help me develop an understanding of the skills I have and the skills I need to develop to be successful in the chosen industry. My main goal is to become successful in the Event Industry and to do so I must focus and study the requirement of this field that includes communication, networking, budgeting, negotiation, multitasking and organisational skills. For soft and hard skills needed in this industry I must work on my personality and how to become friendly, listen to client, be organised, and consider clients’ needs and his budget. Hard skills would involve studying different computer programs.

Skill Area  | Evidence of skill | Indicate your grade A B C D E and indicate what you would like to improve.
1. | Communication ( B) | I am not an English native and I find it difficult to communicate with people thinking in English. Furthermore, I am lucking confidence and approaching people or maintaining a dialog is really challenging for me. To improve my communication skills, I should learn confidence and continue to improve my understanding of English language. To do so I will take English lesson with private lecturer to improve my oral and wring skills.
2. | Problem-solving (A) | I consider myself as having good Problem-Solving Skills. However, I would like to learn how to solve problems that I’m facing in my professional life and how to find the compromise taking into consideration all teams opinion and solutions.
3.Time Management (B) | I would like to manage my time effectively and maximise my efficiency. Moreover, I would like to learn to avoid procrastination and spend my precious time on important tasks like studying and social life.
4. Report writing ( D)| I am not good in report writing because this is my first experience, I do not speak well the language and academic reports have requirements that need to be fulfilled. Per example: academic language, paragraph, paraphrasing, Harvard referencing, summarising, and working with computing programs such as Word, PowerPoint, Padlet/Beta. I would like to improve all areas in this section, and I can do that by continuously learning, reading and listening to the lecturer’s feedback.
5. | Presentation skills (C) | I find myself bad in Presentation Skills. I can improve this area by learning the language, study PowerPoint program, speaking and listening to good speakers.
6. | Numeracy ( A) | I had some experience working with numbers, so I consider as having strong Numeracy Skills. Per example: I can remember and organise information, I understand numbers and I have good calculation skills. However, I would like to improve my ability to interpret numbers and understand the visual perception.
7. | Note taking (C) | This is another area that I need to improve. While studying I am taking notes, but it is easier for me to write in my language. Therefore, I will attend English classes separately to learn how to take notes correctly and how to summarise the lessons.
8. | Research & Investigation (B) | I find difficulties when doing my research for the assignments. However, I learned how to find credible sources through hard work. I have to improve this area by practising and consider lecturers feedbacks.

A study of multiple job advertisements shows that fields such as management, marketing and finance have specific requirements of skills category to perform in the workplace. However, the hospitality, events and tourism industry require the combination of soft and hard skills defined as management and social skills for the front services and hard skills that involve operation level (Sandwich, 1993). Soft skills include creative and conceptual skills like teamwork, leadership, and organisational aspects, whereas hard skills are compatible with both managerial and technological realms. For example: in hospitality industry soft skills are used to help the guest decide what room is suitable for him and hard skills are used to perform the request at operational level (computer, programs).

Employability skills according to Robinson (2000), are defined into three categories:  basic academic skills, thinking skills and personal qualities.

·      Basic academic skills include verbal communication, reading and writing, science and math (Adeyinka-Ojo, 2018).

·      Thinking skills includes critical thinking, problem-solving, decision-making, creativity and reasoning (Adeyinka-Ojo, 2018).

·  Personal qualities require self-confidence, honesty, self-control, integrity and social skills (Adeyinka-Ojo, 2018).

Furthermore, Cassidy (2006), considers that employability is the core skill and characteristics or behaviours that workers need to engage in and succeed well in the workplace. Moreover, employability skills are essential in all fields, from operational level to management and not just job-speciffic.
