What we mean when we talk about employability 

Two Pearson researchers share how we define employability skills, to help everyone understand what skills make us truly employable now and in the future. This is based on formal and informal research with employers, educators, and learners.
Kristen DiCerbo Ph.D. is Vice President of the Teaching & Learning Research & Design team at Pearson.
Gina Pontrelli is the Director of School Improvement within the same team. They focus on the science behind how we help people make progress in their lives through learning.

Individuals need to develop skills in each area, but the stage they are at in their life - whether that’s starting, developing, or changing career - will impact which areas to focus on most.
