Company Profile

Kaplan Publishing are market-leading publishers of accountancy and business study materials, providing the official publications for ACCA, CIMA and ICB courses and supplying exam-focused, student-friendly resources to learning institutions and universities worldwide.

In addition to our qualification-based materials, we have recently developed a range of business books to make difficult subjects and key issues facing students more accessible.

The latest edition to these popular step-by-step companions is Kaplan’s Guide to Core Skills and Employability by Rachel Sumner.

The issue of graduate employability seems to be increasingly high on everyone’s agenda, with media attention focusing on graduates struggling to find work, employers complaining about the skills of their new recruits or the government warning of a skills crisis which could hamper the economic recovery. This colourful new guide offers a step-by-step approach to this topical problem, seeking to share more of the reality of the situation and offer practical advice to those attempting to finding work in these competitive times. The book:

  • Defines the key areas and skills regarded as being critical to employability
  • Gives an opportunity, using a variety of tools, to reflect on and learn from experience already gained in these areas
  • Helps to develop confidence throughout the process
  • Shows how to define and demonstrate employability to prospective employers
  • Provides advice on how to use skills from your previous experience to gain advantage in the workplace and allow further development
  • Comes with its own micro-site for further information and activities
