Download as PPT, PDF1 like847 views
The document discusses the evolution of generic skills from Key Competencies to Employability Skills in Australia's vocational education and training system. It outlines the seven original Key Competencies established in 1992, and the eight Employability Skills that replaced them in 2007. The Employability Skills were developed in response to industry requests to emphasize non-technical skills for workplace participation, and were incorporated into training packages to help identify how these skills are developed and assessed.
