Students are required to select from a list of Employability Skills they think they have. This part of the programme gets students thinking about what skills they possess that would be appealing to potential employers. You can choose which year levels you would like to see each skill but we recommend this page for seniors.

If you want to add a new Employability Skill “New Employability Skill”. Then a pop up window will open.
It will have 5 sections: Select Years, Show/Hide, Sort Order , Skill Name and Skill Description.

- Then Decide whether you would want to show or hide the skill in the Student side. Hide will hide the skill from the students.
