Skills for Work: Applying for Jobs

Mae disgrifiad y cymhwyster yn Saesneg yn unig, gan ei fod wedi ei gymryd o fanyleb Saesneg CBAC.

Applying for jobs teaches learners to match their own skills to suitable jobs, search for vacancies, read job adverts, complete application forms or CVs and use sources of advice such as Careers Wales. It is one 20 hour Skills for Work unit that learners combine with other units into a Skills for Work, or Skills for Life and Work, Award, Certificate or Diploma. Literacy runs through every learning outcome: describing their own skills, reading and analysing job adverts, writing accurate forms and a tailored CV, and explaining or evaluating advice. Numeracy is light, mainly reading pay, hours and closing dates in job information.

    Learners select information such as pay from job adverts at Entry 2 and record key details including hours, and Level 1 and Level 2 learners interpret adverts and plan a job search with deadlines. Reading pay and hours is part of the assessment criteria, but there is no required calculation: working out weekly pay or comparing pay between adverts appears only in the amplification and suggested activities, so numeracy demand is low.
