  1. KEY SKILLS IN THE REAL WORLD

  2. WALES v PACIFIC ISLANDS "The side has come together well" Duncan Jones Wales Captain “our only hope of real success is to come together as a team, that's my job, to get the structure and systems in place.“ Pat Lam – Pacific Islands Coach

  3. Key Skills don’t apply in the real world…they’re only for doing in school or college… I’ll have to stop you there…the Raise Your Game project proves that Key Skills are vital in the real world!!! Here are some of our interviews to prove it!

  4. APPLICATION OF NUMBER Hi there…I’m John Hammond…you might recognise me from the Weather on the BBC! I have to use number all the time…converting Celcius to Fahrenheit…scales and areas on maps…. ….negative numbers on temperatures etc. We’re all using number regularly – 33% off when you’re shopping; 10% off for buying online; working out your overdraft, exchanging money for your hols…you can’t deny it…we’re all applying number all the time!

  5. COMMUNICATION “Communication is of paramount importance. In one given day I might be speaking to children who are eight years old, I could be speaking to my bosses at the radio station or I could be speaking to the farmer who's just called up and he wants to be a part of my show. You've got to be able to communicate on all levels and still be yourself.” DJ SPOONY – RADIO 1 DJ Think about interviews... it's all well and good having qualifications, but if you can't communicate - you won't get the job!

  6. DEREK BROCKWAY SHARES HIS TIPS FOR A SUCCESSFUL PRESENTATION... • Think about what the focus is on. • Keep it straightforward. • Don't use jargon • Practise. • Ask advice • Be flexible • Be positive • Learn to relax

  7. INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY It’s the digital age…letters we send, lists we keep, e-mail, the internet…we’ve all got to be ICT literate! What do you have on your laptop?Everything, I use it for my music, my photographs and home movies. The programmes that I use the most are QuickTime, Photoshop, Final Cut Pro and then all the office type programmes that you have. How did you learn how to use all those programmes?Play, play, play and more play. My advice to people would be just to play with it. People are always worried about losing things on computers, but really you can't lose that much information. The information will always be there, you've just got to find it again. I'm still learning, I'll always be learning. Colin Jackson

  8. IMROVING OWN LEARNING AND PERFORMANCE “We sit down and talk to the players. We find out what their goals are, how they think, the areas they need to work on to improve as a player and the ambitions that they have or don't have that we need to talk about.” Mike Ruddock ex - Wales Rugby Coach

  9. USE THE SMARTER GOALS METHOD S – specific M– measurable A – achieveable R – realistic T – timed E – exciting R - recorded You can be what you want to be! Go one step at a time but keep improving!

  10. PROBLEM SOLVING …we all have problems, we can face them or bury our heads in the sand. Ask for help when you need it. When you are losing it, what do you do?“Everyone feels frustrated when things aren't going to plan. Stop and re-assess from the very beginning. Things go wrong when you're stressed and under pressure. Remind yourself of that and re-focus. Stop being precious about just how important you are. You need to find the strength in yourself. There are always critics - don't listen to them. Listen to yourself but be honest with yourself. I sit in silence and think. If you can give an honest account of yourself then you can deal with anything.”Jamie Baulch

  11. WORKING WITH OTHERS In the real world you have to work with others all the time…and it involves important interpersonal skills… “You can never communicate with enough people in this job, as far as talking with physios, doctors and coaches. The main thing is to make other people in the organisation understand what your viewpoint is, whether they accept it or not. At least they then know and understand why you may be making some decisions.” Andrew Hoare Ex-Wales Rugby Conditioning Coach
