INTRODUCTION
Employability skills can be defined as the skills are should be possessed by an individual
in order to be considered as employable by organisations (Ambler, Witzel and Xi, 2016). Some
examples of these skills are problem-solving skills, communication skills, leadership,
adaptability, technological skills etc. Whereas study skills refer are strategies that are particularly
applied to learning. These skills are considered essential for acquiring good grades in schools,
colleges and universities (Tarhan, Turetken and Reijers, 2016). This report explains a reflective
account of how being a part of Corporate Social Responsibility contributes to the achievement of
various employability as well as study skills. Gibb's reflective cycle has been applied to provide
effective learning with relevant examples to support how can these skills be achieved.

are also know as soft skill, foundation skills, job readiness skills and so on. These skills make

communication skills (verbal and written), research skills, the use of ICTs, team work, time and
self-management as well as problem solving skills (Erasmus, Strydom and Rudansky-Kloppers,
2016). While I am conducting this project which is related to corporate social responsibility, I
determined that I have numbers of skills from which some are my strength and some are my
weakness. So it is essential for me to polish my strength and overcome my weakness so that I
can perform effective in future. Skills which are my strength are communication skills, problem
solving skills and team working skills whereas my weaknesses are research skill, time and self
management and information technology skills.
From all skill, some are my strength and some are weakness I get to know when I am
conducting this report and interacting with my subordinated or team members. I have good
communication skill (both verbal and written), this I get to know when I am interacting with my
team member for the first time. Along with this, through my effective written skill I able to
conduct proper communication with clients and other peoples for gathering informations related
