Assessment 2 is a substantial research report designed to enhance your employability in the
future by assisting you to systematically identify relevant workplace competencies that you
can develop further i.e.getting you career-ready. In the report you will implement the plan
you outlined in Assessment 1.
The report will use accepted academic frameworks, theoretical models and/or concepts to
underpin its findings. To do this you should draw primarily on the readings from the modules,
with additional resources a bonus. To be clear, we are expecting to see the learning resources
from the modules being used well throughout the paper. You will use these resources to help
you review your chosen workplace and the industry it operates in and to identify skills,
