3 min read Employability Skills Assignment 2
Individual written report (2,000 words equivalent, 50%)
This individual assessment is based on report-based skills required for your future ideal job. You need to undertake detailed research for a job/sector you are interested to work in and to identify two ‘soft’ skills that the role requires to investigate and analyse in more detail. It is recommended that you explore the skills we have covered within the module, e.g., communication, teamwork, negotiation, however it has not been possible to cover all graduate skills, so you can focus on a skill not covered in the module, e.g., resilience.
It is written in a report format using titles, relevant headings, sub-sections, contents page and executive summary. You DO NOT need to include a separate introduction and conclusion as there should only be one in a report.
The two skills identified should be the ones you reported as being your weakest or are most frequently mentioned by employers. You need to provide evidence from the personal analysis that we have done so far in seminars to reinforce this point.
The report should include the following sections and with the marks portioned accordingly:
1. Critically discuss two soft skills essential for graduate career/role you are interested in (you must include and apply academic and practitioner research (recommended 3rd person)
(40 marks)
700 words
2. Reflect on your own performance in relation to these skills (activities/ quizzes taken in seminars will offer evidence as will examples from uni work, part-time work and/or clubs and societies)
(30 marks)
700 words
Appendices
You will need to include a number of Appendices to provide an evidence of your analysis of your own performance in your key soft skills. The appendices must include:
i. A fully completed Traffic Light Skills Audit (from the seminar activity in week 1);
(5 marks)
100 words equivalent
ii. Two completed comparisons of the Career Pulse assessment from week 1/2 and week 10/11 (from the Hub) which you can download as a pdf
(5 marks)
100 words equivalent
iii. Results of two quizzes/test/self-assessments completed in seminars specifically related to the soft skills you are writing about e.g., if you are discussing time management, results of your performance on the time management in-tray exercise should be included. NB if you want to select a soft skill NOT discussed in the module, e.g., resilience, emotional intelligence, links to additional self-perception tests will be available.
(10 marks)
150 words equivalent
iv) A Personal Development Plan (PDP) analysing how you plan to develop your employability skills over the next 12 months.
(10 marks)
150 words equivalent
30 marks total
Using the self-assessment tools/quizzes etc. provides evidence to allow you to critically reflect on your own skills but you can also include examples from previous experiences. The objective of this assessment is not to say how excellent you are at all these skills, but to evaluate your skills and clearly identify what you can do to improve. Given the stage of your studies and career it would be highly unlikely that you would be able to demonstrate ‘excellent’ performance in all graduate skills.
