Essential Skills

Essential Skills are the fundamental skills that make it possible to learn all others. They are enabling skills that help people participate fully in the workplace and in the community.

Identifying Essential Skills provides job related information to help students and workers explore the skills needed for various occupations. Employers use essential skills to develop job descriptions, workplace training programs or decide what skills to seek when recruiting new staff.
