To analyze the perceptions of NOUN students regarding their fundamental skills for employment, we'll examine the data from the provided Excel file. This involves summarizing their responses on communication skills, managing information, working with tools and technology skills, and thinking and problem-solving skills. Let's start by loading and previewing the data.

The Excel file has been successfully loaded. It contains multiple sheets, each likely representing different areas of skills. Let's inspect the content of each sheet to understand the structure of the data and decide how to proceed with the analysis.

It turns out there is only one sheet named 'Sheet1' in the Excel file. We'll proceed by examining the data in this sheet to understand its structure and the type of information it contains regarding students' perceptions of their fundamental skills for employment.

The data in 'Sheet1' includes various columns, starting with biodata such as Faculty, Level of Study, and Gender, followed by responses to statements regarding fundamental skills for employment. Each response likely represents a student's self-assessment in areas like communication skills, managing information, working with tools and technology, and thinking and problem-solving skills.

To analyze the perceptions of NOUN students on their fundamental skills for employment, we'll summarize the responses to these statements. This will involve calculating the average scores for each skill area to understand the overall perception among students.

After correcting the column naming issue, we now have a structured dataset with clearly named columns. The data includes demographic information (Faculty, Level of Study, Gender, etc.) and responses to various statements assessing fundamental skills for employment. These skills cover areas such as communication, technology use, problem-solving, and adaptability.

Next, we will analyze the data to summarize the perceptions of NOUN students regarding their fundamental skills for employment. This involves calculating the average scores for each skill area.

The analysis of the perceptions of NOUN students regarding their fundamental skills for employment, based on the average scores for each skill area, reveals the following insights:

Overall, while there are areas of strength, particularly in communication and some aspects of technology use, there are also areas where students feel less confident, such as in applying mathematical concepts to solve problems.

The comparison of perceptions across different levels of study reveals variations in students' confidence in their fundamental skills for employment:

Overall, the data suggests that as students progress through their levels of study, there is a general improvement in confidence in certain areas, such as adaptability and collaboration, while other areas like mathematical skills remain challenging.
