With sophisticated social and emotional skills as well as advanced critical thinking competencies, learners are able to independently evaluate the information they are given and find solutions to overcome challenges. Furthermore, innovative, critical thinkers can cultivate a positive outlook and become prepared to participate in their workplaces and communities.

In today’s quickly evolving labour market, the acquisition of transferrable skills is crucial. Young people who possess transferable skills are better able to adapt to changing demands in the labour market and in entrepreneurship, as well as to be independent, creative, critical thinkers, learners, and problem solvers. They are also better able to solve challenging problems and form connections with others in highly collaborative environments.

Transferable skills are essential to our personal growth and are especially important for young people who live in a fast-changing challenging world. These crucial competencies provide the youths the power to be more resilient, allowing them to choose healthy, constructive behaviours, and help them avoid hazards connected to unhealthy behaviours that endanger their health and wellbeing, such as the risk of violence.

Young people who are proficient in transferable skills are better able to comprehend and exercise their rights and responsibilities in civic life. They find their voice and grow into engaged citizens who can take part in local, regional, and international issues that have an impact on their life by being able to work with others and proactive advance their community interests (such as climate change,  corruption, conflicts, etc.)
