Employability Course & Assessment
Course Overview
Young people can find it difficult to secure employment, and to prove to an employer that they are job-ready. This is also often the case with more mature job seekers returning to work after a career break. The iCompassUK Employability Course and Assessment (ECA) allows those new to employment, to learn and embed the behaviours sought after by employers and gain a good understanding of what is expected of them in the workplace.
Our experienced trainers deliver that extra edge by clearly demonstrating what an employer is looking for in a top employee. These are not skills normally taught in schools or universities and can be sometimes seen as qualities more important than even academic success. Job seekers and employers can be assured that the skills learned on the ECA, will increase their productivity and effectiveness.
Who is the ECA aimed at?
Young people and mature job seekers who are:
- Looking for employment – apprenticeships, traineeships, graduate programmes, movement to work participants
- New employees or trainees – apprentices, graduates, interns
- Trying to improve their skills and confidence in preparing for work
- Finding it difficult to uphold or keep employment
Training Breakdown
The course covers 8 core sections, with interactive questions throughout and a final assessment. Additional modules such as Personal Branding are also available. The course can be delivered in its entirety or the sections tailored to fit the specific needs of a programme or employer. The training can be on-site or virtual and entails discussion, thought provoking choice options and specially designed scenarios. As with all iCompassUK courses, content delivery is web based, engaging and led by expert tutors.

Reviews
The ECA has been the exact training we have been looking for to give all our new employees.
I thought that it was a really insightful day, and was a lot of fun. The presenters were very encouraging throughout the whole session, which made it even more enjoyable. It was an amazing day, that was planned out very well!
Really engaging way to get through lots of information about employability skills, good to have real work place examples to reinforce what was being said. Thoroughly enjoyed todays sessions.
The information and the exercises were engaging as well as the presenters. Things that were covered were definitely useful and will be applied to the work setting.
This is the first certificate I have gotten in a long while, thank you. I really understand now what an employer wants. This course has really helped me to kick start my career.
What I really liked was there was always an industry-related scenario given, which helped to put any issues into perspective. I liked that there were real life examples rather than just hearing someone speak about the characteristics without any examples. The fact that we were all constantly engaged kept me focused.
Overall helpful and insightful content. Linking it back to personal experiences seemed to really make an impact. Continue being AMAZING and ENGAGING hosts!
