Skills for Success: Collaboration

Summer Burton • February 28, 2023

The Skills for Success are the nine skills the Canadian government has identified everyone needs to be successful in work, learning and life. Today we're continuing our look at the Skills for Success by talking about Collaboration.


According to the Canadian government, collaboration is your ability to contribute and support others to achieve a common goal. For example, at work we use this skill to provide meaningful support to team members while completing a project. Collaboration skills help you perform better in a team by understanding how to support and value others, manage difficult interactions and contribute to the team’s work.

Most of us work in groups - either as a family, as a student, or as an employee so being a good collaborator is a wonderful skill to have.
