Work Skills

BTEC Workskills 

The WorkSkills course is used to equip students with the skills to gain and retain a job in challenging times. 

Now, more than ever, individuals wishing to progress in the workplace, in education and in training, need to demonstrate flexible and wide-ranging skills. 

WorkSkills builds on the ABC of employability – Attitude, Behaviour and Communication – to develop the skills that employers are looking for and to give learners an edge in a competitive climate.
