It is increasingly important for Institutes of Technology and Polytechnics (ITPs) to ensure their graduates are well prepared for employment, life-long learning and contribution to society. This project was designed to assist teachers in vocational education to embed ways to enhance employability skills within their teaching practices. To maintain a modest scope for the study it
focused on programmes NQF Levels 3 – 5, taught across the sector. The aim was to improve learning by producing a toolkit of ideas and teaching strategies drawn from case studies of current practice across a range of contexts. The focus was not on what the students do or say, but rather the strategies teachers used to enable or encourage these skills in the learners.
