What will make our students employable?

We invite you to be part of our session What will make our students employable? By Mike Mayor. New research published by Pearson in 2023 revealed that over half of those using English in the workplace feel that formal education, both in school and college, did not adequately prepare them for the English skills needed in the workplace.

So, what is it that employees need that is currently not being taught? And what skills are employers themselves looking for as part of their recruitment processes?

This workshop explores these and other questions within the context of Pearson’s Global Scale of English and Employability Frameworks, offering practical suggestions on how educators can use free online resources to address the current skills gap and prepare students for future success.
