2. What is “Skill”?
An ability and capacity acquired through
deliberate, systematic, and sustained
effort to smoothly and adaptively
carryout complex activities or
job functions and any other activity.
3. Need of skill development
• To be more employable and more productive in
work environment.
• India is a country today with 65% of its youth in
the working age group. If ever there is a way to
reap this demographic advantage, it has to be
through skill development of the youth so that
they add not only to their personal growth, but
to the country’s economic growth as well.
4. Types of skills
1. Communication skills: Work on it… Communication, like any other skill is one that
you absolutely need to practice in order to excel at it. No one is “born” a great
communicator. With someone you know and trust, ask for them to practice with you. The
more you listen, read, speak and engage in non-verbal communication, the better you will
become at this vital skill.
2. Analytical and research skills: Work on math problems. I know it sounds
elementary, but solving math problems (without a calculator) is a good way to kick-start
that analytical side of your brain.
3. Computer and technical litreacy: To increase your computer literacy check out
your local training centers
4.Interpersonal abilities: This one is very similar to your ability to communicate, but
is specific to the ability to relate to your co-workers, inspire others to participate, and
mitigate conflict with co-workers
5. Managing multiple priorities: MULTI-TASKING! Society today demands
proficiency in this area. Your ability to manage multiple assignments and tasks, set
priorities, and adapt to changing conditions and work assignments are absolutely critical
