Summer Work Program: Transferable Skills

Installment two of our weekly articles has arrived! This week we are focusing on transferable skills that will help you with job searching this summer.


Transferable skills are those abilities acquired from previous job experience, volunteering activities and relevant school work.  By highlighting the fundamentals of interpersonal, organizational and leadership abilities on your resume, you can broaden your search into a variety of working environments.
