The Talk for Work Profile is an easy to use tool which can be used by secondary school staff to profile communication skills in young people; specifically those skills needed for the workplace.

In every workplace, oral communication from managers and supervisors to employees, and vice versa, is a daily occurrence and vital to successful productivity and outcomes. However, year on year employer surveys raise concerns about the shortage of communication skills in the workforce and the impact this has on the economy.
