The course will provide teachers with a range of specific activities and strategies for incorporating essential transferable skills (communication, teamwork, time management, problem solving and others) into their classes.

Participants will work on practical examples and adapting activities they can use in their classrooms with the aim of increasing their learners’ life and career skills as well as their chances in the job market.

Participants will also have the opportunity to observe, reflect, discuss, and exchange their experiences and examples of good practice with other teachers.

OUTCOMES

After completing the course, participants will be able to:

• employ various strategies and activities to incorporate key transferable skills into their classes

Education is not preparation for life. Education is life itself.
