LSN’s quest to understand employability skills reveals ten key messages

The phrase ‘Employability Skills’ has increasingly cropped up in speeches from august platforms, appeared in titles of conferences, peppers publications urging more effort for and by UK plc and formed the title of an increasing number of qualifications.
