Employability Skills
Employability skills are critical to helping people enter, re-enter, and progress in the labour market. They also underpin the work of organisations delivering employment, activation, and community-based support services.
Skills for lasting impact
As labour markets evolve, employability support must be practical, current, and grounded in real-world delivery.
Strong employability skills help to:
- Improve confidence and readiness for work
- Strengthen engagement with employers and recruiters
- Support sustainable employment outcomes
- Respond to changing recruitment and labour market practices
- Enable inclusive access to employment opportunities

Our employability skills programmes are designed to deliver real, practical impact, supporting both the professionals working in employability services and the individuals they support into work.
Our programmes also bring together accredited training and short, practical interventions, allowing participants to use the right support at the right time.

Employability programme pathways
Our QQI Level 5 Introduction to Employment Support programme is launching soon in 2026.
This accredited programme supports organisations delivering employability and activation services and is designed for those working in, or aspiring to, employment support and advisory roles.
We also offer a suite of short, focused employability programmes designed to support individuals who are preparing to enter, re-enter, or progress in the labour market.
These programmes can be delivered as self-directed online modules, or instructor-led workshops, depending on organisational or project needs.
Current programmes include:
- CV Development
- Writing Effective Cover Letters
- Interview Preparation
- Developing an Elevator Pitch
- Identifying Transferable Skills
- LinkedIn Introduction
These programmes are flexible, repeatable, and suitable for delivery across multiple cohorts or locations. They can be used as standalone interventions or integrated into wider employability, activation, bootcamp, or skills programmes.
As employment markets evolve, this suite will be regularly reviewed and expanded to ensure ongoing relevance and alignment with employer expectations.
