Employability refers to the attributes of a person that make that person able to gain and maintain employment. (কর্মসংস্থান বলতে কোনও ব্যক্তির গুণাবলী বোঝায় যা সেই ব্যক্তিকে কর্মসংস্থান অর্জন এবং বজায় রাখতে সক্ষম করে।)
কর্মদক্ষতা (Employability Skills) বর্তমান সময়ে অত্যন্ত গুরুত্বপূর্ন বিষয় হয়ে দাড়িয়েছে। একজন উদ্যোক্তা বা চাকরিদাতা তার চাকরী প্রত্যাশী বা তার প্রতিষ্ঠানে যারা কাজ করছেন, প্রত্যেকের কাছে প্রত্যাশা করে থাকেন। কর্মদক্ষতা (Employability Skills) একজন কর্মীর মধ্যে যদি থাকে তাহলে তিনি তার কর্মক্ষেত্রকে বর্তমান অবস্থা থেকে অনেক দূরে নিয়ে যেতে বা তার সহকর্মীদের সাথে দলগতভাবে কাজ করে নিদির্ষ্ট লক্ষ্যকে বাস্তবায়ন করতে পারেন। আর ঠিক এই কারনেই একজন উদ্যোক্তা বা একজন চাকরীদাতা সব সময়ই প্রত্যেক চাকরী প্রত্যাশীর মাঝে কর্মদক্ষতা (Employability Skills) খুজবার চেষ্টা করে থাকেন।
We are all more or less worried about Employability enhancement. Everyone says to increase employability but there is no awareness of how to increase it. You will get a checklist through this presentation which will help you to increase Employability Skills.

In social psychology, self-assessment is the process of looking at oneself in order to assess aspects that are important to one's identity. It is one of the motives that drive self-evaluation, along with self-verification and self-enhancement.
SWOT analysis (or SWOT matrix) is a strategic planning technique used to help a person or organization identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats related to business competition or project planning.[1]
