Module Conclusion

There is no question, employers require candidates with the technical or hard skills to perform and fulfill the duties of the position. However, employers value job-seekers and employees who demonstrate competent transferable skills. 

Transferable skills will help you make successful transitions throughout your career, especially in uncertain times.

“Skill is the unified force of experience, intellect and passion.” – John Ruskin
