This Employability Skills Toolkit has been developed as a direct response to a need identified by the Retail Automotive Industry. The six modules address the softer skills that are required from education leavers when entering the workplace. Each lesson plan consists of four sections: module content, portfolio activity, a series of MOT questions on the content covered and finally suggestions for additional activity. By working through the toolkit, students will: • gain an overview of the six modules and their outcomes • be able to self-assess and reflect on their skills and knowledge of the world of work • understand what employers expect in terms of behaviour and conduct in the workplace • understand who their customers are and how to build a positive relationship with them • build on team work and effective communication • get hints and tips on problem solving, planning and organisation • receive guidance on applying for a job or training and how to impress during interviews

Employability is the ability to gain and keep employment and employability skills are not the academic qualifications or vocational skills needed for a specific job role. Within this programme you will find advice and help to develop your knowledge (what you know) and skills (what you can do) to improve your chances of finding the job you want in the automotive sector and to build it into a lasting career. If you are still thinking about which job you want to aim for then have a look at the IMI Autocity website www.autocity.org.uk to learn more about the great range of jobs available in the automotive sector. The information used to put this pack together comes directly from the sector with employers telling us what they are looking for from young people applying for their first job or training place.
