HARNESS YOUR HUMAN SKILLS

Human skills are the secret to success in employment.

What are Human Skills?

They’re the abilities that help individuals to connect with others, make decisions, overcome challenges, and adapt to new situations.

Human Skills include:

• Communication and Collaboration
• Analytical and Critical Thinking
• Problem-solving
• Digital Literacy
• Adaptability and Resilience
• Customer Obsession

Why are Human Skills Important?

Not only do these skills help individuals navigate everyday life, employers
are actively looking for them!

Human Skills are special because they:

• Are used in all jobs and can transfer between roles and workplaces
• Differ from technical skills and personal qualities
• Can’t be replaced by technology, and will only become more important as technology evolves
• Can be learned, developed, and improved
