How are Employability Skills Represented by the CCR Literacy Standards?
Meredith Liben StandardsWork Literacy Lead
![Page 14: I THE MPLOYABILITY SKILLS FRAMEWORK IN THE ADULT BASIC ...... · 12/3/2014 · IMPLEMENTING THE EMPLOYABILITY SKILLS FRAMEWORK IN THE ADULT BASIC EDUCATION CLASSROOM LINCS WEBINAR](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022071116/5ffc4841d1c0eb5b0e367a3a/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Why College and Career Readiness Literacy Standards for Adults?
“Students entering the workforce are discovering that they need critical knowledge and skills that are used on a regular basis. They recognize that pursuing a career pathway that pays enough to support a family and provides genuine potential for advancement hinges on being able to perform the complex tasks identified by [the CCSS] as critical for postsecondary success. Leading economists who have examined labor market projections note that key college and career ready knowledge and skills are closely linked to being able to get the training necessary to earn a living wage in high-growth industries (Carnevale and Desrochers 2002, 2003). It is crucial, then, that adult education programs provide students the opportunity to acquire these skills to pursue their long-term career aspirations and goals.”
(From page 2 of the CCR for Adult Ed)
![Page 15: I THE MPLOYABILITY SKILLS FRAMEWORK IN THE ADULT BASIC ...... · 12/3/2014 · IMPLEMENTING THE EMPLOYABILITY SKILLS FRAMEWORK IN THE ADULT BASIC EDUCATION CLASSROOM LINCS WEBINAR](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022071116/5ffc4841d1c0eb5b0e367a3a/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Surveys Consistently Reveal the Same Finding
• Employers endorse several educational practices as potentially helpful in preparing college students for workplace success (Hart Research Assoc., 2013)
• These include practices that require students to
– conduct research and use evidence-based analysis;
– gain in-depth knowledge in the major and analytic, problem solving, and communication skills; and
– apply their learning in real-world settings.
![Page 16: I THE MPLOYABILITY SKILLS FRAMEWORK IN THE ADULT BASIC ...... · 12/3/2014 · IMPLEMENTING THE EMPLOYABILITY SKILLS FRAMEWORK IN THE ADULT BASIC EDUCATION CLASSROOM LINCS WEBINAR](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022071116/5ffc4841d1c0eb5b0e367a3a/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Research Supports the Importance of Key Literacy Skills That Demonstrate Work Readiness
“The vast majority (89 percent) of [high school] teachers surveyed by ACT reported that their students are either "well" or "very well" prepared for college-level work in their subject area after leaving their courses. In contrast, only around one-fourth (26%) of college instructors reported that their incoming students are either "well" or "very well" prepared for first-year credit-bearing courses in their subject area. These percentages are virtually unchanged from those in ACT's 2009 curriculum survey” [and all the years ACT has been conducting this survey].
(2012 ACT National Curriculum Survey)

Why Employability Skills?
“Increasingly, the computer will do the computation….[but] thinking about the problem, developing the problem, understanding the problem, looking at it from all sides, deciding what important information is relevant to the problem…is the harder part… You can’t do that without an understanding of the computation.”
– Manufacturing and distribution executive (Achieve, 2004)

Why Do Employability Skills Matter?
Are we data-informed?
Survey Says…
![Page 41: I THE MPLOYABILITY SKILLS FRAMEWORK IN THE ADULT BASIC ...... · 12/3/2014 · IMPLEMENTING THE EMPLOYABILITY SKILLS FRAMEWORK IN THE ADULT BASIC EDUCATION CLASSROOM LINCS WEBINAR](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022071116/5ffc4841d1c0eb5b0e367a3a/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
From a State Perspective
• Over 1,000 employers were surveyed by the North Carolina Association of Workforce Development Boards; the resulting report, Closing the Gap: 2012 Skills Survey of North Carolina Employers, revealed:
– “The lack of basic communication skills has been a large obstacle.”
– “Employees who have an understanding of problem solving, team work, and continuous learning are very valuable.”
– “Attitude, enthusiasm, and appropriate attire are the key basics. Experience and education is next.”
![Page 42: I THE MPLOYABILITY SKILLS FRAMEWORK IN THE ADULT BASIC ...... · 12/3/2014 · IMPLEMENTING THE EMPLOYABILITY SKILLS FRAMEWORK IN THE ADULT BASIC EDUCATION CLASSROOM LINCS WEBINAR](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022071116/5ffc4841d1c0eb5b0e367a3a/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Nationally
“What makes a new graduate stand out from equally qualified competitors . . . is the evidence of the ‘soft skills’ needed in the workplace. Employers prize skills such as communication skills, the ability to work in a team, and problem-solving skills.”
(Job Outlook 2013 report, National Association of Colleges and Employers)
![Page 43: I THE MPLOYABILITY SKILLS FRAMEWORK IN THE ADULT BASIC ...... · 12/3/2014 · IMPLEMENTING THE EMPLOYABILITY SKILLS FRAMEWORK IN THE ADULT BASIC EDUCATION CLASSROOM LINCS WEBINAR](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022071116/5ffc4841d1c0eb5b0e367a3a/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Internationally
• For the report 2012 Talent Shortage Survey, Manpower Group surveyed more than 38,000 employers in 41 countries
• Eighteen percent noted that “soft” skills are where job candidates most often fall short
– Interpersonal skills
– Enthusiasm/motivation
– Collaboration/teamwork
– Professionalism
– Flexibility/adaptability
– Ability to deal with ambiguity/complexity
– Attention to detail
– Problem solving and decision making
