Employment literacy:young people, job readiness and employability in Western Australia

这项研究将通过对西澳大利亚州一系列就业服务客户中准备好工作的年轻人的个人和社会特征的批判性理解，构建就业扫盲模型-一个超越就业能力和社会扫盲概念的新概念。就业准备和就业能力被广泛用于描述就业计划的预期结果，但没有得到充分的定义和衡量。就业扫盲模式将增强学术文献，并为寻求将就业能力技能纳入培训和就业方案的年轻人和组织提供帮助。

This research will construct a model of employment literacy - a novel concept moving beyond notions of employability and social literacy - by developing a critical understanding of the personal and social characteristics that comprise a job ready young person among the clients of a range of employment services in Western Australia. Job readiness and employability are widely used to describe the desired outcomes of employment programs, but are inadequately defined and measured. A model of employment literacy will enhance the academic literature and provide assistance to young people and organisations seeking to integrate employability skills into training and employment programs.
