Employability skills are those personal social behaviors and daily living habits that have been identified by employers and
young entry-level workers as essential for obtaining employment and for success in the work place. These are life skills that
must be taught with the same rigor as basic skills. The development of such skills is a life long process, with performance being
relative to a students ability and age. Teachers at all age levels have the responsibility to teach employability skills.

This criterion-referenced checklist may be used yearly, beginning at the age of 14, to assess students level of performance in
the twenty-four critical employability skill areas identified by Ohios Employability Skills Project. Three descriptors are provided
for each skill. Student performance should be rated using the following scale: 3 = usually, 2 = sometimes, 1= seldom, 0
= never.
