What is the core skill to develop?
According to my observation core skills are the most essential skills that should young people
need to be fully prepared for life and work in a global economy. In other words, core skills are
important and beneficial for me to engage my career objectives and goals (Breen and et.al.,
2016). Core competences generally revolve around a particular business function for example
marketing and manufacturing. In other words, core competencies are the kind of strategic
advantage for me which helps to develop within the organisation. However, there are main
core skills which should have in people such core skills are communication, Numeracy,
Information and communication technology, Problem solving, working with others (Clements
and Kamau, 2018).
Through my observation and analysation it has been found that I have a core skill and some of
the other them needed to be developed in future. My core skill which I need to develop is time
management that enable me to face many hurdles and challenges in Shoprite. Time
management skills of mine is not as much good than other skills. For example: At my
workplace I could not properly manage my prioritize work due to which I leg behind. Besides,
I also need to work on my planning skills which is also quite improper in a way. Somehow, It
has been analyse by me that main core skills have to be required in all the employees. Apart
from that, it also makes the person more reliable and forming to be the great achievement and
forming the best source and ideas.
Time management skill is very required for me which I need to develop in my future career.
Time management skill itself is a very important skill in order to make plans at the workplace.
