Skills for Success: Collaboration
The Skills for Success are the nine skills the Canadian government has identified everyone needs to be successful in work, learning and life. Today we're continuing our look at the Skills for Success by talking about Collaboration.
According to the Canadian government, collaboration is your ability to contribute and support others to achieve a common goal. For example, at work we use this skill to provide meaningful support to team members while completing a project. Collaboration skills help you perform better in a team by understanding how to support and value others, manage difficult interactions and contribute to the team’s work.
Learn more about collaboration and the other Skills for Success here, and think about all the ways you collaborate with other people!
Most of us work in groups - either as a family, as a student, or as an employee so being a good collaborator is a wonderful skill to have. Adult literacy programs offer free, individualized training that can help you build all of your Skills for Success, including collaboration. Contact us to find a program in your area!
