Designed to be a companion throughout your degree, this easy-to-use reference work simultaneously develops your employability whilst also helping you to succeed at university. Throughout your studies it will keep you focused on your future career by:

teaching ‘bridging skills’ that enable you to apply your learning to professional practice

showing how study skills such as diagnostics, planning and management, critical reading and knowledge transformation are used in the workplace

demonstrating why ‘thinking skills’ such as critical thinking and reflection, developing arguments, problem solving, decision making, creative thinking and ethical thinking are vital to employers

helping you to understand, early in your degree, what employers are looking for so that you can develop ‘career readiness’ as you study and gain work experience

guiding you in developing a unique, evidence-based CV and using self-knowledge to make the right career choice.

Studying for your Future Employability provides a range of scenarios and activities to demonstrate the links between study skills and professional skills, along with techniques familiar in the workplace. With IT skills embedded throughout, this is the perfect study skills textbook to accompany business and management students who want to make their time in education count.
