What is ePass for Learners?

Supported through your Professional Development sessions, and complemented by your vocational curriculum, you will explore the knowledge, skills and behaviours required for employment in your chosen career.

The e-PASS focuses on how to prepare you for your route to employability, which may include next levels of education including higher education and training as pathway to your intended career destination.

There are 5 strands within the e-PASS each of which has a range of skills which you will be able to develop to demonstrate how you are developing your employability skills to be work ready. You will capture your progress in developing these skills within GroFAR – where you will assess yourself in the early stages of your course, set targets to achieve and review your progress at the end.

The platform gives employees insights into their personalities, learning styles and motivations, creating a more profound understanding that serves as the foundation for transformative development.

With a dedicated focus on soft skills, ePASS+ equips your team with resources to enhance leadership, delegation skills, and decision-making.

The ePASS+ Award Program stands as a hallmark feature, guiding employees through a curated series of tasks to develop essential soft skills such as communication, positive work ethic, and teamwork. Beyond this, the platform offers additional tools for ongoing development, allowing employers to tailor support based on specific needs.
