List of skills that are required to become employable
Skills and capabilities perform an important role and it is used by management to perform
all work with decided roles that directly improves employees capability. Some important skills
which is required to improve employability is mention as follow:
 Confidence skill- Their are different task performed by persons and it is used to
complete all work that manage faith and trust among abilities (Newman and Dickinson,
2017). Workforce who believe relates with capabilities that make challenges to work with
knowledge and it is used for completion of work with high capabilities.
 Communication skill- Oral and written skills is engaged by individuals that is used for
completion of task with undertake of effective communication skill. This also means that
all individuals perform an important role that manage individuals and engage persons to
understand and analyse about all perspective through which information related with
message is included within teams.

 Information technology skill- One of the most important skill related with current trend
undertake about understand of information related skills. Technology perform an
important role by using power-point, excel and word related aspects. Persons able to
undertake information from internet and interpret them in easy manner.
 Organisational skill- It refer that individual are capable to complete their work with
organise of all activities (Peak, 2020). This aids persons for formulation of plans by
which all information is collected with minimum efforts through managing task with
decided roles and capabilities that adhere longer results.
 Teamwork- Team-work define ability that is used to collaborate with arrangements of
co-workers and it aid person to perform work as active member. Moreover, teamwork
skills helps me to generate proper coordination that is used for managing overall efforts
of individuals.
Role of academic integrity and it importance in University
All concepts which is related with academic integrity combine and generate skills that are
necessary for University environment. Along with this integrity means aspects by which
individual manage deadlines and adhere their work that established principles which is used for
University body. Internal laws is managed by students through defining perspective that manage
work perspective through which intellectual rights are managed by individuals and University.
Along with this to obtain all information from different sources student make perspective or
scenario through which work is managed and completed with decided information. Moreover, to
obtain all information from different sources student give credit to author for source. It also
refers that to complete a project student must manage work that is written in transparent and
creative manner (Salas-Morera and et. al., 2016). Working independently provide information
about project and it aids to complete project in transparent manner.
Time-management with methods of implement
The term time-management perform an important role and it is engaged by individuals at
both stage either personal or professional. During time of study an individual read theoretical
aspects about time-management but at time of implement this is complex to understand. So to
manage time-management person deal with different skills that are related with high-urgency
with high importance and low-importance with high urgent aspects. This includes perspective
through which balance is generate between work and personal life. It also develop easy factors

and it aids to develop task that are important and urgent to formulate time-management template
that define time required to complete work in easy manner (Siemens, Gašević and Dawson,
2015).
Personal Swot analysis
Strength Weakness

details about project.
 Understand roles and responsibility.
 Lack of time-management.
 To face stress while facing public.
Opportunities Threats

 Minimising challenges by monitoring
work.

Five characteristic that demonstrate academic writing
 Professional skill- To avoid informal methods for talk with individuals that is used to
express forms through which work is completed with written form. Tone are generated
through this task are managed and controlled under guidance of professional.
 Clear and transparent- Reader understand and analyse information through which all
content is expressed with supportive information. This is also used by organisation for
offering aspects that reduce issue while transferring information.
 Unbiased- With neutral approach an individual generate unbiased results that is used for
completion of task according to decided information. This also explain about all aspects
by which writer enable individuals for management of writing related with actual facts.
 Domain- Through offering credit to individuals this is identified by me that a person
work with source including its quoting and referencing that aids to work in proper
manner.
Aspects that makes a good presentation
With generating a well-created power-point slide an individual perform their work with
light background and it makes a colour more visible (Walling, 2018). Font size is also adjusted
with capacity of slide and it aids to develop perceptible results. This is also used to perform work
according to font size, bold and italic font for demonstrating and highlighting significant part
related with content.
Formulation of communication process
The term communication process start their aspects from sender who enable to encode
information first and than send it as a message. Along with this there are different
communication process exist. Their are different task performed by business and this is aids to
develop process through which all information is shared with verbal and non-verbal
communication process. Moreover, feedback are considered and it help to complete work with
decided persons. This also makes communication process that make effective and longer results
for performing task with high progress.
How and why mini-project workshop contribute for development of employability
I am intend to reflect on the experience and it impact for use of mini-project workshop
which is used by organisation for learning and development of aspects related with employability

skills. The module helps to acknowledge significance about communication skills for managing
work that develop professional career for individuals. Along with this effective communication
skill perform an essential role through which academic and professional context is developed.
Students needs for developing mini-project and workshop students and it make a longer attention
towards my projects. Mini-workshop manage and attain perspective that are included in CV,
cover-letter and projects. It is used to announce as well as formulate an effective action plan
through which work is managed by undertaking skills and capabilities through which all task is
completed with module, mini-project and establish of areas. It is also used to manage work by
which workshop offer important results. This is also used by me and it also provide information
through which improved perspective are focused and it aids in developing of results through this
module is used to generate assess by which skills is identified for performing work with decided
skills. For avoid challenges related with organisation perspective it is understand that conflicts
and confusion are minimised through developing module that is used to answer about all
challenges that is used to gain different benefits by use of skills through which professional
career is improved by engagement of areas. Moreover, peers, tutor and friends helps me to
manage all modules that improve my capabilities to manage all work with decided efficiency.
My tutor supports me for managing work by which plans are generated to assess and understand
skills. This results better and improved results is obtained with understand of topics through
which personality of individuals is increased. SWOT, preparation of CV, Time-management
skills and many other aspects are included and it is used by me for managing work with motive
of improving learning objectives. Moreover, while completing the reflection this is also
understand by me that I am able to learn all those areas that is used in presenting information
with organised approach. Moreover, personal and professional areas both are improved by me
through transferring information which is related with creativity perspective. Analytical and
creativity related skills develop employability by monitoring and managing information that is
related with development of skills and it helps me for improving career related approach for
improving knowledge related with academics.
