Have you heard of the Skills for Success? They are the nine skills the Canadian government has identified everyone needs to be successful in work, learning and life.

Over the past several years technology has advanced, the importance of interpersonal skills has grown, and both COVID and labour market changes have impacted how people work... which means our skills need to advance, grow and change as well. The Skills for Success are a perfect place to start.

The nine Skills for Success are:

Adaptability
Collaboration
Communication
Creativity and innovation
Digital
Numeracy
Problem solving
Reading
Writing
