Employability
The suite of Ascentis Employability qualifications is designed to help learners develop skills, attributes and values which will enable them to overcome barriers to employment, build self-esteem and a positive attitude to work, helping them to take steps into work or work placements. These qualifications are also designed to meet needs of employers as well as employees, and therefore help learners not only to secure employment, but to remain within it.
Who are these qualifications for?
These qualifications are ideal for learners who are unemployed and looking to return to the workplace. The learners may be lacking confidence and need to demonstrate work readiness, through improving sector-specific skills, transferable skills which help workplace integration, understand relationships in the workplace and expectations within a working environment.
The Employability Qualifications are suitable for inclusion in Study Programmes and Traineeships as they teach a range of skills valued by employers.
Many of our centres also use these qualifications with ESOL learners and SEND.
