INTRODUCTION
Employability skills refers to set of those skills and capability which an individual
required in order to get a job and perform well at their job role. For enhancing the employability
skill, it is crucial for an individual to remain focused toward self-development practices where
they must try to regularly evaluate current skills level and work toward enhancing it a level more
(Afanasyev and et. al., 2019). The current report is based on this concept of self-development in
order to create employability skills for getting prepared for future jobs. This report contains
description about twelve class room activities and their importance in developing the
employability skills.
MAIN BODY
How activities contribute toward development of employability
In academic life of a student there are number of chances are given to them with the help
of class room activities for the development and growth which support in near future. These
classroom activities remain a part of coursework and as such activities that I attempt under my
module of self-development and responsibilities. There are number of activities that get
performed during this module that support in enhancing the skills such as presentation, academic
skills, references, reading exercise, numeracy exercise, determining development need, action
plan for improvement, group development, CV writing and many more. These all classroom
activities contribute a lot in improving and developing my employability skills that will be very
much helpful in my future job (Cottrell, 2019). This is so because by participating in these
classroom activities I become able to learn about the role of team work and manner in which a
group actually form which provide me understanding regarding the manner in which I have to
behave and perform in order to form up a effective team. Other than this I also become able to
develop my presentation skill which is consider to be one of the most effective practices as per
the concept of job as it help an individual to represent their ideas in more effective manner. After
that I also learnt how to evaluate and identify the need of personal and professional development
as well as ways to improve them by developing an action plan. Other than this the most
important think which I learnt from this module is about the basic interview questions that are
being asked to an aspirant and manner in which it must be answered. This will support me in
developing my mindset regarding way in which I have to behave while attempting for an
interview so that I could present myself as a personality which company like to hire. Hence, it

can be said that these classroom activities support me a lot in developing my employability skills
by preparing me in a manner that help in getting the job and perform at best (Freeze and et. al.,
2019).
CONCLUSION
From the above-mentioned information, it can be said that class room activities plays a
significant role in developing an individually personally as well as professionally. This is so
because classroom activities are mainly performed under the guidance and support of lecturers
who make an individual [prepare about the behaviour which they must exert and also guide over
their weaknesses so that it can be improve further for getting a better job.
