对于离校生、在校生和毕业生来说，了解自己拥有的技能对于找到工作、保住工作和换工作至关重要。每年，雇主组织都会对毕业生申请人/招聘人员所需的技能/素质进行国际/国家调查。当被要求将“就业能力”技能与职业或学术能力进行比较时，85%的雇主比一般能力（63%）更重视“就业能力”（CBI, EDI Education & skills， 2014年8月）。就业能力涵盖了广泛的非学术或软技能，这些技能在工作场所很有价值（例如，团队合作能力、主动性/原创思维、在截止日期前开始/完成任务的自律等）。FE和HEI已经开始提供关于就业技能的指导。此外，一些学生会将志愿活动作为学习新技能/提高就业能力的一种方式。然而，目前没有国家或国际认可的途径来验证这些技能。存在的东西是断开的。这意味着英国长期增长战略的一个重要部分（即青年就业和毕业生技能——据英国工业联合会称，这被视为支撑技能再平衡过程的关键）受到了损害。解决方案-新加坡国立大学就业能力系统-旨在通过开发资格认证系统（奖励，证书，文凭）和能力评估单元，为就业技能提供共同的语言和环境。其目标是提供一种被认可的、经Ofqual认证的就业能力衡量标准，并辅以新的数字工具包，供学校、学院、大学和雇主使用。这个概念系统被打包成一个应用程序，使用专有的行为算法和能力评分，并上传到云平台，通过就业过程，直到就业和职业提升，来增强学生的求职之旅。该市场证明将验证需求/范围系统要求

For school leavers, students, and graduates, knowing what skills they have is vitally importantwhen it comes to securing, staying in and changing employment.Every year employers organisations carry out inter/national surveys into skills/qualitiesrequired of graduate applicants/recruits. When asked to rate 'Employability' skills compared tooccupational or academic aptitude, 85% of employers placed more importance on'Employability', than general aptitudes (63%) (CBI, EDI Education & Skills, Aug 2014).Employability covers a broad range of non-academic or softer skills which are of value in theworkplace (e.g. ability to team work; initiative /original thought; self-discipline in starting/completing tasks to deadline, etc).FE & HEI have begun to offer guidance on Employability skills. Further, some StudentUnions push volunteering as a way to learn new skills/enhance Employability. However, thereis currently no nationally or internationally recognised route to validate these skills. whatexists is disconnected. This means that a vital part of the UK’s long-term growth strategy (i.e.youth employment and graduate skills - seen as essential to underpin the skills rebalancingprocess, according to CBI), is compromised.The solution – the NUS Employability System – aims to provide a common language andenvironment for Employability Skills via the development of an accreditation system ofqualifications (Award, Certificate, Diploma) and units of competency assessment.
