Developing Employability and Enterprise shows how to help others
develop the behaviours and attributes needed to thrive in the modern
workplace. It offers coaches, career advisors and educators a complete
guide to what employability looks like in the 21st century, both for new
entrants to the world of work and those finding themselves in situations
where they need to secure a new job or even career. The book shows how
employability can be measured and how skills and attributes such as
resilience, confidence, motivation, dealing with others, overcoming
challenges and entrepreneurship can be developed through coaching and
mentoring.
Supported by the latest research from academia, government bodies, and
practitioners, Developing Employability and Enterprise brings
together some of the most influential thinkers around the world to offer
a new approach to career management that looks beyond simply offering
advice on résumés and CVs, job applications, job searches and
interviews. It offers practical guidance on what attributes to develop
and tools for how to do this including assessment options, sample
exercises, notes on how to use the concepts in practice and global case
studies.
