Do you think your academic knowledge will guarantee you a job?

Are you aware of the skills and abilities most employers want?

How does it feel to know that there are at least 1 million people around this world who can do your job?

Do you know 85% of your success depends on your employability skills?

In this age of distraction and disruption, jobs are not bordered by the territory of a country. That means you have employees all over the globe. These one million candidates have the same education as you have, if not better! The good news is people lack the most critical skill, which is employability. Degrees can assure only knowledge but to implement that knowledge in the field of your work requires Employability skills.

What is employability?

• The ability to gain initial employment; hence the interest in ensuring that 'key competencies', career advice, and an understanding about the world of work are embedded in the education system^[1]
• The ability to maintain employment and make 'transitions' between jobs and roles within the same organization to meet new job requirements^[2]
