Workforce Skills
We teach our mentees personal and workplace success skills, which are the set of transferable skills that are critical for finding employment and advancing in a career pathway. They are also lifelong learning skills that enable them to be resilient and adaptive in an ever-changing labor market.
Why personal and workplace success skills matter
Personal and workplace success skills are in increasingly high demand by employers across all industry sectors. They offer some promise of employment security and protection from the impact of technology, because they are essentially human skills that can’t be easily replaced by automation.
We’ve chosen the term personal and workplace success to describe these skills because they are cross-cutting skills that are as essential to personal growth, civic and community engagement, educational development, and lifelong learning as they are to workplace success and career mobility
