Employability Skills can be defined as the transferable skills needed by an individual to make them ‘employable’. Along with the good technical understanding and subject knowledge, employers often outline a set of skills that they want from an employee. These skills are what they believe will equip the employee to carry out their role to the best of their ability. Employability depends on your knowledge, skills, and attitudes, how you use those assets, and how you present them to employers.

Employability skills or "soft skills" are the key to workplace success.

Employability skills are a set of skills and behaviors that are necessary for every job. Employability skills are sometimes called soft skills, foundational skills, work-readiness skills, or job-readiness skills.

Employability skills allow you to:

• communicate with co-workers
• solve problems
• understand your role within the team
• make responsible choices, and
• take charge of your own career 

Personal qualities, habits, and attitudes influence how you interact with others. Employers value employability skills because they are linked to how you get along with coworkers and customers, your job performance, and your career success.
