Transferable skills can position students for career success

How do you explain Transferable Skills?

Transferable skills are competencies that a person can use and carry from one job to the next. They include communication, adaptability, punctuality, patience, organization, and teamwork skills. 

To be part of their technical team, a growing number of employers are finding applicants with good transferable skills. Applicants with transferable abilities find themselves agile and autonomous. Therefore, equipping the students with those abilities and skills that are relevant beyond the curriculum will prepare them for greater career achievement.

 Employers are searching for transferable skills such as:

  • Teamwork and adaptability 
  • Planning and organization 
  • Listeners and interaction (delivering presentations) 
  • Be vigilant about specifics 
  • Ability to work under pressure
  • Problem Solving & Critical Thinking 
  • Creativeness 
  • Management and delegation
  • Multitasking and Prioritization 

The Importance of Transferable Skills

Candidates for any position should consider transferable skills extremely useful to their employers. These softer competencies, which are implicitly correlated with a job, help a candidate display how much he has learned. It highlights your expertise and potential since your work in this area lacks real experience.

Transferable skillsHighlighting Transferable Skills in Your CV or Interview

When you have recognized what transferable skills you have, make sure you integrate them into your CV. If you have very little work experience, then it will be more beneficial to have a functional CV based on your skills rather than your experience.

Demonstrate how in a specific circumstance you can use your skills: 

  • Provide a quick description of the situation, what you did, and the impact. 
  • Try to keep your CV accomplishments centered. 
  • Strategically position transferable skills in your CV, including at the top of the CV in a concise professional synopsis section that defines you, your strengths, and your qualities. 

This is intended to grab the recruiter’s attention and persuade them to read through. You may as well elaborate on your CV in more depth when it comes to the interview, presenting concrete explanations of when you demonstrated commercial knowledge or solved an issue.

Three teaching approaches used to develop skills

  • Embedded: this is primarily teaching, for instance, technical skills when carrying out a mission. 
  • Integration: The approach is more like scenario-based training, Imagine, for example, a situation in which some students behave in a car showroom: 

                     – Customer communication skills can be enhanced. 

                     – Customer service can develop negotiating skills

                     – Inspire a team to strengthen their teamwork 

                     – The management of a busy schedule gives priority to 

  • Bolting-on: This is when skills are learned beyond the standard curriculum. 

It might seem difficult to identify ways to help your students review their skills. If you are unsure which transferable skills to teach, highlight, and engage students with, use online driven resources like Certif-ID’s SkillPass.
