The purpose of this document is to set out an unequivocal challenge to practitioners and policy-makers, to raise the status of employability skills, improve practice in developing them, and create a policy environment in which good practice flourishes. This document is an opening, not a closing statement. It has two perspectives. It concentrates on good practice in the individual learning environment, because that has to be the focus of action. It draws on several studies of what individual employment and skills providers do, and it includes a review of the relevant academic literature. It is not, however, aimed only at teaching and training professionals. It is for all those who are, or need to be, active in making employability skills a reality.
