Defining a 'Skill' Within the Future of Work: A Scoping Review, May 2022
This piece of research provides an analysis of the existing literature on the definition of a "skill" and proposes a new working definition, fit for the future of work:
"A capability,
that has been acquired through learning, practice and experience,
and put into action."
Our report makes a number of recommendations including:
-
That this definition of a skill should be adopted across sectors to improve uniformity of data and understanding by career seekers, employers and educators alike
-
That further links between business and educators ought to be developed to encourage the value of skills development, including developing pilots to test skills assessment frameworks
-
That a network of stakeholders interested in developing this definitional work within the skills space should be maintained.
