6 Skill you must have

While discussing about the new MBA program design for the college at our place we discovered this interesting and simple skill set . The college, in our discussion, offered us the opportunity out of heavy competition from local and national level players. We are under pressure to present our "seriously different" approach.


During this we verified and analysed some of our data. We collected this from various organisation through questionnaire and interviews. They (the head of the organisation) are the one who employ the freshers and pay them. These decision making community answered some of most important questions and the result is amazing. 


Definition of skill:  This is very important. We defined the skill as:  "A skill (also called talent) is the learned capacity to carry out pre-determined results often with the minimum outlay of time, energy, or both. Skills can often be divided into domain-general and domain-specific skills. For example, in the domain of work, some general skills would include time management, teamwork and leadership, self motivation and others, whereas domain-specific skills would be useful only for a certain job. Skill usually requires a certain environmental stimuli and situation to assess the level of skill being shown and used."


Skills are categorised in many ways, key skills, transferable skills, academic skills, personal skills, skills for employability and more recently functional skills. Three functional skills identified by the government are English, Maths and ICT (information and communication technology). 


Functional skills are the skills needed to allow people in their work and everyday life as citizens, they give them the chance to study and work independently, to make sense of the world around them, and have the skills to achieve personally and contribute to their local community.  We asked our clients, what are the skills that individuals need to be able to operate in today’s society.


The following are the comprehensive result.


1.Application of number - maths
2.Communication - English
3. Information and communication technology
4. Improving own learning and performance
5. Problem solving
6. Working with others


We designed our program to the MBA students which may answer the following questions from him.


How often have you used this skill? 
How will this skill help me to be independent? 
When have I used this skill in everyday life? or 
When might I use this skill in everyday life? 
In what types of career might I use the skills I have developed today? 
How might I develop this skill?


We have prepared our presentation. Wish to share this as this is very important finding.
