Good morning year 12
Today we will looking at skills and in particular the skills that you have developed to date.
Skills can be broken down into HARD SKILLS such as being able to READ or TYPE a letter
and you can count these and measure them accurately. These are often minimum skills
required to carry out a job role.
SOFT skills are more elusive and intangible. These are the personality traits that are part
of your character for example you might have a pleasant sounding voice to which people
relate.
Soft skills are usually qualities that are difficult to measure.
The skills audit below will allow you to assess all your soft and hard skills. We can then
focus on turning your weaknesses into strengths by using a skills audit.

P3 Assessment
Assessing the skills required for a start up business does not have to be difficult so I have created an appraisal check list for you to rank your top 10 personality traints.
Firstly complete the self appraisal using the 1-5 scale provided and then get someone who knows you well to do similar for you.
Secondly you now need to know their strengths and weaknesses use this skills audit document. This should give you a percentage of efficiency / effectiveness of you as a person. It will also allow you to identify your training needs as you start the journey of an entrepreneur.
Thirdly once you have done this then you could consider putting a training plan
together so that you can take action to develop your skills for future employment
opportunities.
Your 'training plan' could be created on this document. It is a list of things you would like to
do to turn your weaknesses in to strengths ! It is these skills that will relate to a potentialjob
role and allow you to be successful when applying for it as you will often be asked to give
evidence of how you can demonstrate your skills!
