BEING WORK READY : A GUIDE TO WHAT EMPLOYERS WANT

The Business Council has developed Being Work Ready: A Guide to What Employers Want to assist senior high school students along with people, family, teachers and career counselors, to better understand what ‘work readiness’ means from a business perspective. The guide outlines the minimum expectations a business has of someone’s work readiness when they apply for a job. These expectations are classified as values, behaviours and skills. Download the guide on the Business Council of Australia website as well as a video where they explain the key concepts in the guide and why work readiness is important to business.
