Lesson learning outcomes

This toolkit aims to:

• Provide guidance on a journey through LifeSkills content (including films, tools and lesson plans) to support the development of core transferable skills

Read on to learn about how you can help students to better understand some of the skills most valued by employers.

What is a growth mindset?

As the world of work changes, different skills have been identified as being increasingly valuable to employers. Along with these skills, it is important for young people to have a mindset to adapt and continue to learn. The use of these skills extends beyond the workplace and are useful in everyday life.

How will this toolkit help students identify the most sought-after skills in the job market?

Students will discover how to improve core transferable (sometimes called ‘soft’ or ‘personal’) skills, such as leadership, aiming high (proactivity), and problem solving. After introducing each skill, the toolkit signposts to lessons and interactive activities to help embed learning, and features supporting case studies that demonstrate how these skills are applied in the real world.
