MASTHEAD: Core Skills

Welcome to Core Skills

Core Skills are essential if individuals are to meet both their personal needs and the needs of society. Individuals who can analyse and solve problems, communicate well, use information technology, and work with others effectively, are well-equipped to assume the active, flexible and responsible role which modern workplaces need and society expects.
