If you’re asking yourself, “what are employability skills?” STEMNET (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics Network) defines this term as “transferable skills needed by an individual to make them employable.” Employability relates to your knowledge, skills, and attitudes, how you use those assets, and how you present them to employers in today’s context. Today, your education and experience may only be enough to qualify for a job, but to be successful in most roles in the field of emerging technologies, you will need soft skills like communication, teamwork, and problem-solving. These soft skills that will equip you to carry out your role in the company to the best of your ability are also referred to as employability skills. The building blocks of any career, these skills are what make you employable across various roles, sectors, and industries. Employers usually want to see that you already have these soft skills before hiring, because they are much harder to teach. Personal characteristics, habits, and attitudes influence how you interact with others. Employers value employability skills because they regard these as indications of how you get on with other team members and customers, and how efficiently you are likely to handle your job performance and career success. Employers value these unique qualities in their potential employees because they have always been necessary for an effective and smoothly functioning workforce. Enterprises spend a large amount of time and money developing these foundational and work-readiness skills. But in today’s world, where jobs are limited, employers enjoy more options and would like to hire a technical expert who also displays well- rounded employability skills.
