The Government wishes
to develop generic, transferable skills in the workforce in order to
facilitate their employability in an economy which will be increasingly
based on knowledge and information. These Key Skills are as follows:
Communication
Application
of Number
Information
Technology
Working with
Others
Improving Own
Learning and Performance
Problem Solving
Key Skills qualifications
are structured in a similar format to NVQs and are categorised in 5
levels of competence which range from the equivalent of GCSE grade D
- G to first degree level. Key Skills will be integrated within all
sectors of the training and education system. They will be designated
as an integral part of GCSE and higher level courses offered by schools
and colleges and Modern Apprenticeships undertaken in the workplace.
The Strategic Defence Review requires the Services to give all new recruits
the opportunity to gain Key Skills within two years of joining. To achieve
this we are identifying the opportunities that already exist within
our current training through which Key Skills could be gained and, where
possible, ensure that civilian-recognised qualifications are available
to all.
