Meta-skills

Meta-skills are key skills for the workplace that everyone should look to develop in their time at school. Some may be more important than others for you to develop for your chosen career path, and the school will provide experiences and opportunities for you to develop these skills.

In S6, you can use your School Service and Wider Achievement options to use your time in the school day to develop your chosen skills,  but there will be opportunities before then too. You can look at the list below for suggestions on how to develop skills in certain areas:
