Recruitment-23

Deployment

These are a linked set of abilities which include:

• Career management skills — commonly identified as self-awareness (ie diagnosing occupational interests and abilities), opportunity awareness (knowing what work opportunities exist and their entry requirements ie labour market knowledge), decision-making skills (to develop a strategy of getting from where you are to where you want to be) and transition skills. The latter generally includes:
• Job search skills — ie finding suitable jobs. Access to formal and informal networks is an important component of job search and employability.
• Strategic approach — being adaptable to labour market developments and realistic about labour market opportunities, be occupationally and locationally mobile.

There is obviously an important inter-relationship between assets and deployment. The extent to which an individual is aware of what they possess in terms of knowledge, skills and attitudes and its relevance to the employment opportunities available may affect their willingness to undertake training and other activities designed to upgrade their skills etc.
