Employability Skills

Employability skills are also sometimes referred to as generic skills, capabilities, enabling skills or key competencies. Australia’s Employability Skills were developed in 2002 by the Business Council of Australia and the Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, in consultation with other peak employer bodies, and outlined in the Employability Skills for the Future report, funded by the Australian Government.

The following posters were developed through collaboration between the ACT Department of Education and Training and the ACT and Region Chamber of Commerce and Industry in response to ACT teachers’ requests that resources be developed to assist students to raise their awareness of these important employability skills. The posters were designed by a student from Dickson College.
