Work Skills
What is Edexcel Level 2 BTEC Certificate in WorkSkills?
Course Details
WorkSkills is a flexible suite of BTEC qualifications suitable for learners. The aim of the WorkSkills qualification is to equip young people with the skills to gain and retain a job in challenging times.
Now, more than ever, individuals wishing to progress in the workplace in education and in training, need demonstrably flexible and wide-ranging skills. WorkSkills delivers exactly that.
WorkSkills builds on the ABC of employability – Attitude, Behaviour and Communication – to envelop the skills that employers are looking for and go give learners an edge in a competitive climate.
Assessment
- All units are assessed through coursework. The units, typically 10 hours each, are flexible and can be combined to create qualifications of different sizes and at different levels to suit the needs of the individual learner for example to achieve 1 GCSE the student will achieve 13 credits by studying ten Level 2 units.
Progression Routes
Employers rate strong workplace skills and relevant work experiences among the most important factors when recruiting.
This means many 14-19 year olds who will leave school or college with academic or vocational qualifications don’t have any evidence to prove they are work ready.
WorkSkills will bridge the recruitment credibility gap.
