The Pearson Edexcel Award in Employability Skills: CV Writing, Interviews & Workplace Conduct offers a focused and structured approach to building the practical tools necessary for employment success. The course begins by exploring the foundations of employability, helping learners identify and articulate their strengths, skills, and aspirations through a personal skills profile. Students are introduced to CV writing techniques early in the course, setting the stage for meaningful progress in later modules.

As the programme continues, learners will engage in the development of a tailored, high-impact CV and accompanying application materials such as cover letters and personal statements. The course includes effective job search strategies, enabling students to confidently navigate application forms and match their skills to real job opportunities in competitive markets. This stage of learning is designed to enhance not just job-seeking ability, but also self-presentation and written communication.

The final module prepares learners for real-world professional interactions. It covers interview techniques through guided practice and mock interviews, provides guidance on professional conduct in the workplace, and educates learners on their rights and responsibilities as employees. These essential lessons empower students to transition into the workplace smoothly, equipped with the confidence and awareness needed for long-term career development.
