CONCLUSION
From the above report it is concluded that the academic and professional skills are important for individual in
order to achieve better results. One can feel more in charge of academic studies, be more organised, and be
better prepared to take on new challenges as they advance through their degree by improving overall study

on professional abilities, people can become more adept at what they do. They have a specific, attainable
objective to work towards. Over time, increasing professional skills increases productivity.
