Skills for Work: Jobs of the Future
Mae disgrifiad y cymhwyster yn Saesneg yn unig, gan ei fod wedi ei gymryd o fanyleb Saesneg Open Awards.
Jobs of the Future is an Open Awards Skills for Work unit offered at 5 levels from Entry Level 1 to Level 2, each 20 guided learning hours, in which learners explore how jobs change, emerging roles, the skills they need and how to prepare, ending at Level 2 with a justified job choice and a structured plan. The provider designs the tasks and learners build a portfolio assessed Pass or Fail. Digital demand is low: internet access is listed for research, but no criterion needs a computer. Digital work sits in online job research, understanding technology’s effect on work, an optional digital presentation and the e-portfolio.

Sut mae'r uned hon yn cael ei hasesu
- Entry Level (Entry Level 1 CBM181, Entry Level 2 CBM182, Entry Level 3 CBM183): Each Entry level has 3 learning outcomes and 6 criteria. Entry Level 1 learners identify familiar jobs and newer jobs, identify skills used in jobs and their own skills, explore future jobs through activities and identify a job they would like. Entry Level 2 learners identify new or changing jobs, skills for them and their own strengths and areas to improve, match skills to at least 3 job types and outline a job of interest. Entry Level 3 learners describe how jobs have changed, outline future job roles, describe and explain the importance of employability skills, identify actions to prepare and present information about a future job. Tasks are designed by the provider and evidence goes in a portfolio, assessed Pass or Fail. Each level is 2 credits and 20 guided learning hours.
- Level 1 and Level 2 (Level 1 CBM184, Level 2 CBM185): Level 1 has 4 learning outcomes and 8 criteria: describe at least 3 factors that influence job change and jobs linked to them, describe at least 3 employability skills and ways to develop them, describe the requirements of a job of interest, outline steps to prepare for it, and describe own strengths and areas for development. Level 2 has 3 outcomes and 8 criteria: explain how local, national and global trends influence jobs, analyse at least 2 future job roles and at least 4 skills, evaluate ways to develop the skills, select and justify a job linked to future trends, analyse its requirements, evaluate own strengths and gaps and produce a structured plan to improve readiness. Tasks are designed by the provider and evidence goes in a portfolio, assessed Pass or Fail. Each level is 2 credits and 20 guided learning hours.

Da gwybod
- Each level has its own unit code and the same size: CBM181 to CBM185, "Credit Value: Two (2)" and "Guided Learning Hours: 20" (Unit Content, pages 11, 14, 17, 20 and 23). The Pearson unit of the same name is 10 hours.
- Units at different levels cannot be combined: "with the exception of British Sign Language (BSL), units with the same title at different levels are barred for completion within the same qualification" (Open Awards Level 1 Qualification Guide, Qualification Units, page 17).
- Every criterion must be met: "All assessment criteria must be met in full for the learner to be awarded a ‘pass’" (Assessment Approach, page 8). There is no grade above Pass.
- The provider writes the tasks: the unit is "assessed through assessment tasks and activities designed by the provider", and providers must "undertake pre‑course verification" to confirm the tasks cover all criteria (Assessment Approach, page 8).
- Evidence goes in a portfolio, paper or digital: "Wherever possible, e-portfolios are encouraged." (Assessment Approach, page 8). Assessments are subject to internal quality assurance and external quality assurance by Open Awards.
- The unit specification says nothing about AI or referencing. The qualification guide requires assessment evidence to "Be the learner’s own work" (Open Awards Level 1 Qualification Guide, Assessment Conditions, page 31).
- Internet access is part of the minimum equipment: "access to digital devices, e.g., computers, laptops, or tablets" and "internet access to support research into jobs, skills, and future trends" (Equipment, page 7).
- Labour market data is kept general on purpose: providers use "simple labour market or trend summaries (non-localised to avoid overlap with other units)" (Equipment, page 7).
- Parts of the document look unfinished. The Entry Level 3 task table on page 9 repeats the Entry Level 2 table word for word. The Entry Level 3 progression statement has no step number, criterion 2.2 is printed "2.2 2.2" (page 17), and the Entry Level 2 skills list includes "long working/ self-motivation" (page 15), which reads like a slip.
