"Employability skills are developed in school and through a variety of life experiences outside of school. The student, the family, and the education system, supported and enhanced by the rest of society, share this responsibility."
I could not agree more with this quote. Knowledge is power, but without the appropriate skills, most people can't harness knowledge to it's full potential. This is evident when looking at employment, which is the ultimate goal of education. Job applications always list the necessary knowledge require to preform that job, but they also list the necessary skills. The following poster says it best:
Students need to understand that school is just like the workforce, where both the knowledge and skills are require, in combination, to be hired. Your work ethic counts, along with your understanding of the required information.
