What it means to be employable will be discussed at a conference in the Island in the spring.
Entitled Reach Higher, it is aimed at all those who support young people into jobs, in a bid to smooth the transition from school to the workplace.
One of the keynote speakers will be Manx born blues star Davy Knowles, while career experts will give an insight into what exactly employers are looking for.
It's the second gathering of its kind, the first in October 2012 resulted in many developments, including the creation of a central web-based resource, employed.im.
There are 160 places available for the conference on April 2nd. To book call 648 700 or email a.baker@bhs.sch.im
One of the organisers, deputy head of Ballakermeen High School Annette Baker says schools already do their very best to prepare youngsters, but believes there is always room for improvement.
