hello I'm Charles galberth I'm a Workforce empowerment speaker and human resource professional today I want to talk to you about Job specific skills and transferable skills now skills are very important for many people skills are what they bring to the table but skills can also be the paron gift of your Workforce and experience so something that I want to share with you about transferable skills transferable skills are those skills that you can take with you wherever you go uh what a transferable skill is a skill that applies no matter your job no matter your title so some examples of transferable skills would be communication skills whether that be your written skills or your verbal communication skills uh other transferable skills would be teamwork um the way that you interact with your team your interpersonal skills how well do you get along with people um customer service how well do you serve the people that you are are providing a service towards uh as far as job specific skills our job specific skills are more pertinent to our job that we have so that means our job specific skills go along with our job duties um they go along with our position and title um many times they're linked to the mission or the purpose of the organization and many times they can be judged or they can be monitored through what is called the Department's policy or your organization policy and procedure so it's very important to have both transferable skills but it's very important to also be in touch with those job specific skills so again skills are what we bring to the table but they're also what we take away from our Workforce experience thank you and have an incredible day
