So the Final X finished about 40 minutes ago and as I am sat eating my lunch I come across this article . It talks about the top 10 skills employers are looking for in 2015 graduates. Here is the list:
1. Ability to work in a team structure
2. Ability to make decisions and solve problems
3. Ability to communicate verbally with people inside and outside an organization
4. Ability to plan, organize and prioritize work
5. Ability to obtain and process information
6. Ability to analyze quantitative data
7. Technical knowledge related to the job
8. Proficiency with computer software programs
9. Ability to create and/or edit written reports
10. Ability to sell and influence others
Now think about the work you have done over the last nine weeks for the Final Exhibition. How many of these skills can you identify with?
You guys shouldn't be thinking about secondary school. You should be thinking about getting a job. This has been an amazing exhibition. You've done a tremendous job. Enjoy the long weekend and get plenty of rest. You've earned it.
