Across Asia, universities face rising pressure to produce graduates who can compete in global workplaces. Yet employers consistently highlight two persistent gaps: insufficient English proficiency and a lack of practical, career ready skills. Keynote, Second Edition addresses this gap by integrating future-ready skills into the core of every unit. Each unit is built around one or more of the 24 essential skills identified by our research-based framework, reflecting the competencies employers in Asia and beyond view as critical for success.

A clear lesson progression develops these abilities through explicit Career skills lessons and career specific Workplace Worksheets that build international communication competence and 21st century skills strategies applicable to real life.

In this webinar, we will demonstrate how these skills are embedded across the Keynote syllabus by walking through a sample unit. You’ll see practical examples of Career skills lessons, Workplace Worksheets, and engaging content from National Geographic and TED, along with real-world tasks that strengthen learner outcomes and improve employability metrics as described by global experts in graduate employability.
