Learner employability: What makes learners employable?

Why understanding the future of work and skills is crucial. What do we mean when we talk about employability? Pearson Research reveals that the skills and knowledge learned in childhood, or a degree earned in your twenties, won’t be enough for success in the long term. Across the world, jobseekers are finding themselves overqualified, under skilled, or both. They no longer have the relevant skillsets so what do you need to do as school leaders to ensure your learners have that all-important ‘employability factor’?

Join this webinar with Elizabeth Moore, Vice President of Learning Research and Design at Pearson and Jessica Yarbro, Research Scientist at Pearson as they discuss what will make international school learners employable.
