Ten key skills for career advancement

Getting ahead today is more competitive and challenging than ever before. Older employees are retiring, but the population of younger generations combined shows that there are millions of more workers than there are positions. This means that you must set yourself apart in order to be noticed for job opportunities and advancement.

Key skills—sometimes known as “core competencies”—are abilities that most employers value; however if you are highly skilled, but no one perceives you as being skilled, you’re probably going to be passed over. You must be able to showcase your skills in the right ways to be noticed.

In this course, you will learn how to sharpen and demonstrate ten key skills that the majority of employers value and want to see in their employees. The goal is to help you improve your ability to compete and succeed in your career.
