1. Building Transferable Skills
Transferable skills are defined as skills that (a) are unlikely to become obsolete anytime soon, and (b) increase your value, no matter where you go or what you do. For example, skill in using a particular software package is not necessarily transferable because software becomes obsolete quickly and not all organizations rely on the same software. However, the ability to get up to speed easily on most new software packages (to learn them quickly and start using them effectively) is a transferable skill. Other examples of transferable skills include the ability to negotiate and fluency in foreign languages.
