E - Employability - Priorities for action
For the state, as well as raising the skill profile of the existing workforce, especially at lower levels to boost flexibility and competitiveness, there are a number of potential priority groups including:
- labour market entrants
- labour market re-entrants
- disadvantaged groups
- insecure or under-utilised employees
where different policies may need to be targeted according to different circumstances.
For employers the priorities might be to help key groups of staff to develop both those assets which have explicit, immediate value to the organisation as well as those transferable ones which have a wider, longer term currency, thereby engendering a sense of security, encouraging commitment, risk-taking and flexibility among employees.
For the individual the need is to boost those aspects of their employability which will most enhance their opportunities in the light of their circumstances.
