The document provides instructions for putting existing work into a presentation format to meet specific requirements. It outlines that the presentation should include 8 slides: a title slide, intro slides on general and specific skills, and slides on individual skills already completed and a new third specific skill. It advises deciding what information goes on each slide and in the notes section, and ensuring the presentation looks professional. It also provides feedback that a third specific skill is needed, more detail should be added to the notes section than on the slides, and notes about non-verbal communication methods for the presentation should be included.

by the due date so that the business is at it’s highest standards.

and a business would value this because jobs/tasks will be completed more
effectively.

jobs set and a business would value this because the staff in a business can
often reflect and give people an impression of a business.
