Introduction to Essential SkillsIntroduction to Essential Skills
Essential Skills are: ‘enabling’ skills that help people perform tasks
required by their jobs
skills that provide workers with a foundation for learning other skills
skills that enhance the ability to adapt to change
skills people use to carry out a wide variety of everyday life and occupational tasks
skills needed for work, learning and life
are not technical skills
Essential Skills are the Velcro to which other training sticks.
