WHAT’S IT ALL ABOUT?
Work Related Skills (WRS) examines a range
of skills, knowledge and capabilities relevant
to achieving individual career and educational
goals. As the nature of work changes over
time, so do the skills and capabilities needed
for success. WRS Units 1 and 2 focus on
developing viable future career pathways and
an awareness of the employability skills,
knowledge and training relevant for their
chosen industry. Students will collect
evidence relating to their personal skills and
capabilities and promote them through
resumes, cover letters and interview
preparation.
Students will be able to identify and discuss
information relating to future employment,
including skills shortages and industry growth
areas, emerging industries and current and
future trends.
