We will present results from research at the Manitoba Institute of Trades and Technology that used the Employment Readiness Scale and a measure of self-efficacy to validate the impact of the Employability Skills Assessment Tool on skill development. Findings demonstrate the relationship between soft skills and employment readiness as well as provide support for a formative approach to skill development.

Learning Outcomes:
  • Examine the relationship between soft skills and employment readiness
  • Consider how formative approach to skill development impacts employment readiness
  • Apply this knowledge to the needs of future jobseekers
