Employability

[6] Chan realised that traditional learning processes such as the 3P model do not apply to soft skills development because students who are deep learners in the academic context do not necessarily become deep learners in soft skills education.

Thus, the words ‘deep’ and ‘surface’ with respect to academic knowledge are unsuitable in the soft skills context.

Saunders & Zuzel (2010) found that employers valued personal qualities such as dependability and enthusiasm over subject knowledge and ability to negotiate.

[10] In the future fewer will be employed and more people work as free lancers or ad hoc on projects.

The subject with the most employment is dentistry, the subjects with ordinately less employment, after the 1st most are as follows; nursing, veterinary medicine, medicine, physiotherapy, medical technology, optometry ophthalmology orthoptics, occupational therapy, land and property management, aural and oral sciences.

"[16] But "(e)xperience needs to be integrated into formal learning, intentionally and systematically, to enhance academic study.

[18] Employability creates organizational issues, because future competency needs may require re-organization in many ways.

The increasing automation and use of technology also makes it relevant to discuss not only change but also transformation in tasks for people.
