Skills for Work: Jobs of the Future
Mae disgrifiad y cymhwyster yn Saesneg yn unig, gan ei fod wedi ei gymryd o fanyleb Saesneg CBAC.
Jobs of the future is a 20 hour Skills for Work unit, from Entry 1 to Level 2, that learners combine with other units into a Skills for Work or Skills for Life and Work Award, Certificate or Diploma. Learners look at how technology, climate action and other changes are reshaping work, find examples of emerging jobs, identify the skills and qualifications they need, and plan how to improve their own employability. Literacy demand is medium: learners research and present, explain and at Level 2 evaluate trends, and write an action or development plan. Numeracy demand is low, limited to a suggested activity interpreting labour market data.

Sut mae'r uned hon yn cael ei hasesu
- Entry Level (Entry 1, Entry 2, Entry 3): Four learning outcomes (the job market is changing, jobs that may exist in the future, skills and qualifications for future jobs, improving opportunities for future work), each with assessment criteria at Entry 1, Entry 2 and Entry 3. Evidence goes in a portfolio, internally assessed by the centre and externally quality assured by WJEC. 20 guided learning hours, unit codes S660E1, S660E2 and S660E3.
- Level 1 and Level 2: Four learning outcomes (how and why the job market is changing, exploring future jobs and industries, skills, qualifications and personal qualities for future jobs, developing own employability through study and training), each with assessment criteria at Level 1 and Level 2. Evidence goes in a portfolio, internally assessed by the centre and externally quality assured by WJEC. 20 guided learning hours, unit codes S660L1 and S660L2.
Sgiliau sy'n defnyddio Dehongli data

Interpreting labour market data and trends
The overview says learners may interpret simple labour market data or trends, and a suggested Level 1 and Level 2 activity compares local and national labour market information to find growing and declining sectors. No criterion requires it, so it is taught, not assessed, and numeracy in the unit is light.
Rhifedd: Dehongli data
Paratoi disgyblion
- Blwyddyn 7
- Pupils read a bar chart of the number of people working in different sectors in Wales and say which is largest and smallest.
- Blwyddyn 8
- Pupils compare two pie charts of local jobs from different years and describe which sectors have grown.
- Blwyddyn 9
- Pupils read a line graph of jobs in renewable energy and retail over ten years, describe the trends and say whether the graph could be misleading.

Cam cynnydd 3
Rwy'n gallu echdynnu a dehongli gwybodaeth o amrywiaeth gynyddol o ddiagramau, amserlenni a graffiau (gan gynnwys siartiau cylch).
Rwy'n gallu dod i gasgliadau o ddata ac rwy'n cydnabod y gall rhai casgliadau fod yn gamarweiniol neu'n ansicr.
Cam cynnydd 4
Rwy'n gallu dehongli graffiau sy'n disgrifio sefyllfaoedd go iawn, gan gynnwys y rhai a ddefnyddir yn y cyfryngau, a chan gydnabod y gall rhai graffiau fod yn gamarweiniol.
Rwy'n gallu archwilio tueddiadau a gwerthoedd eithaf (allanolynnau) ar gyfer setiau data.
Da gwybod
- Evidence does not have to be written: "While evidence may be verbal, written, practical, or visual, extended written work is not required unless appropriate." (Sources of evidence, page 9).
- Assessors judge the standard, "not spelling or presentation unless specifically assessed" (Sources of evidence, page 9).
- Support depends on the level: Entry 1 learners may need "use of symbols, or assistive technology" and Entry 2 learners may use "scaffolded templates" (specification section 4.2, page 19). A suggested Entry activity is an action plan "using pictures or symbols" (Suggested activities, page 9).
- Unit codes are S660E1, S660E2, S660E3, S660L1 and S660L2, and assessment "should not require any specific resources" (Unit overview, page 3; Resources required for assessment, page 11).
- Research write ups must be in learners' own words: AI misuse includes "Using AI to complete parts of the assessment so that the work does not reflect the learner's own work, analysis, evaluation or calculations." (specification section 4.6, page 21).
- Suggested assessment tasks "are not mandatory"; teachers may use them, adapt them or write their own (specification section 4.1, page 18).
Cysylltiadau â chymwysterau eraill
The pack names GCSE Digital Technology and VCSE Engineering as linked WJEC qualifications, both of which give the technical context for jobs such as robotics technicians and renewable energy roles; it also names Computer Science AS/A Level as a later link. The literacy here, researching, presenting findings and explaining trends, is general rather than tied to one GCSE. In the Skills for Work suite it sits with Exploring career pathways, Understanding the changing labour market, Applying for jobs, Interview and confidence techniques, Work experience, Career creativity, Rights and responsibilities in the workplace and Working in Wales; Understanding the changing labour market is where labour market data is likely to carry more of the numeracy.
