Skills Knock Out Quick Fire Activity

PDF 91.1KB

This quick-fire activity focuses on helping young people recognise the key skills sought after by employers and the wide variety of jobs for which each skill is important. 

Students are asked to match the skills to as many jobs as possible in a fast-paced setting.

It can be a great way to introduce students to considering future employment choices. The activity could be used ahead of a session planning their next steps by thinking about what they would like to become and what qualifications are needed for those roles.

Take this activity further with the core transferable skills suite.
