Employability means the ability to find, create and sustain
meaningful work across the career lifespan. Employability skills
facilitate your employability and can include communication,
teamwork, adaptability, initiative and leadership; and can extend to
industry/discipline technical skills such as specific IT platforms and
systems knowledge.
The purpose of Assessment 2 is to provide the opportunity for
students to reflect upon and examine their placement environment
and the employability skills they expect to develop and how
employability skills are utilised within their placement. This will be
assessed via Journal 2 (Application).
You are settling into your placement and beginning to contribute
more to the organisation. This represents a significant learning
experience worthy of reflection. Refer to the framework, instructions
and prompt questions below to help guide your Journal Entry:
Introduction - 200 words. With your increasing awareness of your role,
explain and expand upon your placement role, the duties and
equirements and how your role contributes to the vision / mission of
the
oader organisation.
Identify and Reflect - 400 words. Identify two employability skills that
are required in your role (these could be the same or different skills
identified in Journal Entry 1). For each employability skill, describe a

placement situation in which the skill was applied. Reflect upon
whether you felt prepared for the situation and reflect upon the
outcome. Draw upon these two experiences and identify what you
might do better in future. For example, you might take more time over
planning something, ask more questions, ask the right questions, ask
the right person or only slightly adjust some things if it went well.
Conclusion - 200 words. Conclude your application of employability
skills. Explain how the application of employability skills in the
placement situations you described affected you. This could be
positive or negative. You may have felt highly competent and in-
control, unprepared or unsupported. What have you learnt that will
help you in future?
