Skills Diamond

The interactive Skills Diamond has been designed to encourage conversation and debate about the importance of the 8 essential skills in different job roles.

Learners will work in pairs to research a specific job role (The instructions include recommended websites to help with this research).  They will then discuss the skills needed for the job and use the Skills Diamond activity to rank the 8 essential skills in order of importance.

There is no right or wrong answer with this activity; the key thing is for learners to be able to explain their reasons and give examples of how the skills are important for the job they have chosen.  The Skills Diamond template is available to download from the What's your strength?® website by clicking the link below.
