The Employability Skills Framework was developed to help create greater consistency in how employability skills are understood, discussed and applied across the skills and employment system. By bringing together employer expectations and young people’s experiences, it provides a shared reference point that supports more effective recognition, development and assessment of employability skills. It also reflects the growing importance of digital and AI capabilities within modern workplaces.
