Introduction

Essential Skills are the skills people use to carry out a wide variety of everyday life and work tasks.

Essential Skills are not the technical skills required by particular occupations but rather the skills applied in all occupations. For example, writing skills are required in a broad range of occupations. The complexity and frequency of writing varies, of course. Some workers fill out simple forms every day, while others write daily or monthly reports.

Essential Skills enable people to do their work. For example, repair persons may have to read and understand written work orders before they can do the repairs.

Essential Skills are enabling skills that:

  1. Help people perform the tasks required by their occupation and other activities of daily life.
  2. Provide people with a foundation to learn other skills.
  3. Enhance people’s ability to adapt to change.
