Overview
The YMCA Level 1 Certificate in Employability and Personal Development aims to support learners into work. Learners will develop key generic, transferable personal skills including qualities and attitudes that are required by employers. This qualification is ideal for learners who are undecided as to which vocational/occupational area they wish to eventually gain employment in as it offers a wide range of optional units e.g. practising leadership skills with others, working as a volunteer, introduction to healthy eating, customer service in the hospitality industry, and developing skills in caring for children. This qualification can also aid progression to the next level of learning. Due to the nature and structure it will also appeal to learners who wish to re-engage with learning or those who are looking to retrain.
