“Over two thirds of employers (70%)
want to see the development of
employability skills among young
people at school and college made a
top priority – this does not require a
new qualification but rather
embedding the skills in the
curriculum, as the best schools and
colleges already do.”

…to graduates
“1 in 12 graduates
without work six
months after leaving
education and 40%
failing to get graduate-
calibre posts more
than two years after
graduation.”
“Levels of employer satisfaction
with the employability skills of
graduates are higher than for
school and college leavers, but
there are still alarming
weaknesses in skills around
team working (20%) and
problem-solving (19%).”
“The government wants universities to better collaborate
with industry and made key recommendations to improve
graduate employability.”

What has this got to do with
teaching maths?
![Page 15: Developing employability skills - MEI · Developing employability skills alongside maths Janice Richards MEI Jack Clark, Chris Wallis, and Connor Bell Ravens Wood School](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042413/5f2ccd46d5c402588502b070/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
It may help to
engage
students “Maths lessons are seen
as difficult, irrelevant
and boring by about a
third of teenagers…”
“Teenagers had clear
ideas about how maths
teaching could be
improved, with 54%
saying it should be
geared to more practical
scenarios.”

Mathematics: made to measure, Ofsted 2012:
It remains a concern that secondary pupils
seemed so readily to accept the view that
learning mathematics is important but dull. They
frequently told inspectors that in other subjects
they enjoyed regular collaboration on tasks in
pairs or groups and discussion of their ideas, yet
they often did not do so in their mathematics
lessons, or even expect to do so.
It may be approved of by Ofsted

Could it even improve the
learning of maths?

Group discussion
1. On your own - Think of 2 ways in which
you already develop employability skills
in your lessons (2 mins)
2. Working in pairs, identify 2 new ways in
which you could do this. (5 mins)
3. Still in pairs - How do you think these
might help to improve maths learning?
(5 mins)

Developing maths skills through
work experience
The practical experience of
applying maths in the workplace
can also help to strengthen their
mathematical skills.
MEI, funded by the DfE and
with help from AELP, has
produced two guides to support
and encourage this.
Work experience placements can help students to see the
relevance of maths to their futures. This can be particularly
motivating for them.
