Take the first step into your world outside of school or college and post A-levels by finding out just how employable you are, strengthening your CV and developing your employability skills along the way.




What does it mean to be employable?

Employability refers to the attributes, attitude, skill sets, understandings and knowledge that an employee has that makes them an asset to their employer.

The practical nature of employability is transferrable, fluid, and most importantly, constantly developing. The more employable you are, the more likely an employer will want you on their team.

The National Schools Employability Challenge is an awesome and easy way to develop your employability skills and understand the job application process more fully.

Through online and interactive experiences, the challenge aims to demonstrate the mindset that an employer will be in when considering your application.



How does NSEC work?

All you have to do is answer a series of online, employability-based questions which help you test and improve your employability and the skills needed for your chosen career. The questions are designed based on 10 key skills PwC has identified as important for the world of work. 

One of the Big Four Auditors, PwC supports businesses in big deals and big changes, gives professional advice on tax, IT, risks, sustainability, and of course, helping them make sure they’re profitable.
