Employers feel graduates lack workplace aptitudes, 2018 CBI Pearson skills survey
Product Overview
Every school aims to prepare their students for the world of work. But in an era where soft skills matter as much to employers as academic qualifications, is your school providing all the training students need? Are your students leaving school with the soft skills and leadership abilities to get hired?
