Transferable Skill Training - How to Articulate the Value and Skills
You Bring to Non-Academic Employers

 
While academic employers are looking for qualifications and
experiences related to teaching, research, and publishing grants
and awards, non-academic employers are looking for a
combination of abilities, skills, knowledge, and culture fit for the
organization.

 
Most likely, you have come across terms such as values and
transferable skills but not knowing what they are and how to
articulate them. In this mini-workshop, you will learn about
attractive transferable skills non-academic employers value and
are interested in. You will also learn how you apply your
transferable skills, thus what job area you most likely will find
attractive and interesting.

 
Key takeaways:
✓ Learn what transferable skills are and why they are so
important
✓ How to use transferable skills to explain what you want
✓ Learn to connect your transferable skills to your drives &
motivation
