 Gateway to life skills: The world of work
Assessing your TRANSFERABLE
SKILLS
LIFE SKILLS OBJECTIVES
■ To learn about transferable skills and
their importance in finding a job.
■ To consider practical examples of
transferable skills in daily life.
■ To assess and express your own
transferable skills.
1 Work with a partner. What skills or qualities
do both mechanics and chefs need?
They both need to be reliable.
They both need to work with their hands.
2 READING Read the article. What are ‘transferable
skills’ and why are they important?
88
KEY CONCEPTS
(un-)employed [adj]: When his company closed, he
became unemployed and had to look for a new job.
employer, employee [n]: Employers usually look for ambitious
people to become their employees. problem solving [n]: She’s
good at problem solving, finding solutions in difficult situations.
leadership [n]: People with good leadership can motivate and
organise a group of people.
TRANSFERABLE
SKILLS I n the past, people left
school, found a job
and then continued to
do that job for the rest of their lives. So, they only
learned the skills for one specific job. But nowadays,
most people do a number of jobs during their lifetime.
This might be because they want to change jobs
or perhaps they have to change jobs because they
become unemployed. Today it is still important to
learn skills for a particular job, but it is also important
to learn ‘transferable skills’. These are skills that we
can use in not just one job but in almost any job.
So, what are the most important transferable skills
for the 21st century? Of course, in just about any job
you need IT skills. Computers and new technology are
everywhere. If you’re a shop assistant, an architect
or a mechanic, you must be comfortable using new
technology.
But even a highly-skilled user of
new technologies needs other
skills. Very few people work
completely alone. So in order
to be successful you have
to be able to communicate
well with others. Good
communication is an
interpersonal skill. Other
interpersonal skills include
leadership and teamwork.
These are highly valued
by employers. Can
you motivate others
and direct them if
necessary? On the
other hand, are you
able to listen to and
take orders from
others? Can you
work together as part
of a bigger team?
That’s important if
you work for a top
international bank or

LIFE TASK
You want to consider your own transferable
skills.
Follow this plan:
1 Look at a list of transferable skills on page 147.
Give yourself a mark from 5 (brilliant) to 1 (poor)
for each skill. Add any other skills which you
have which are not on the list.
2 For all of the skills where you have 3 or more,
think of an example to justify your answer. It
could be based on things you do at school, in
your free time or to help out at home and/or in
a job, if you have one
3 Use the list and your examples to write a
description of your transferable skills. You could
use this when you apply for a course or a job.
