Which of these characteristics do you have yourself?
3. Education and training are important stages in preparing someone for a particular job.
a. Read the conversation below and say which ideas you share and which you don’t. Pay attention to the phrases in bold.
Margareta: The trouble with graduates, people who’ve just left university, is that their paper qualifications are good, but they have no work experience. They just don’t know how business works.
Nils: I disagree. Education should teach people how to think, not prepare them for a particular job. One of last year’s recruits had graduated from Oxford in philosophy and she’s doing very well!
Margareta: Philosophy’s an interesting subject, but for our company, it’s more useful if you train as a scientist and qualify as a biologist or chemist - training for a specific job is better.
Nils: Yes, but we don’t just need scientists. We also need good managers, which we can achieve through in-house training courses within the company. You know we have put a lot of money into management development and management training because they are very important. You need to have some management experience for that. It’s not the sort of thing you can learn when you’re 20!
NB: In AmE, you also say that someone graduates from high school (the school that people usually leave when they are 18).
b. A skill is the ability to do something well, especially because you have learned how to do it and practised it.
Jobs, and the people who do them, can be described as:
| highly skilled (e.g. car designer) semi-skilled (e.g. taxi driver) | skilled (e.g. car production manager) unskilled (e.g. car cleaner) |
You can say that someone is:
| skilled at orskilled in.. | + noun customer care electronics computer software |
| + ~ing communicating using PCs working with large groups |
You can also say that someone is:
| good with... | computers figures people |
c. Are these jobs generally considered to be a) highly skilled, b) skilled, c) semi-skilled, or d) unskilled?
