Unveiling the 21st Century Employability Skills Collection

The world of work is changing quickly, driven by technological advancements, globalisation, and the ever-evolving needs of society. More than traditional skills and knowledge are needed to guarantee success in this dynamic landscape. The main barriers to higher education graduates entering the world of work are the gaps between the graduate job skills and the skills needed in the workplace. To thrive in the 21st-century workplace, individuals must acquire a new collection of employability skills. These skills are considered as one missing link between education and training and the world of work.

These are not just technical abilities but flexible, adaptable competencies that empower individuals to navigate complex challenges, collaborate effectively, communicate effectively, and continuously learn. They are the bedrock of resilience and success in an increasingly interconnected and unpredictable world.

We will explore critical thinking, problem-solving, communication, creativity, digital literacy, collaboration, professional reliability, leadership, social skills, and building effective relationships. We will explore how these skills manifest in different professional contexts and how you can cultivate them within yourself.
