Skills for Success
Did you know that there are nine Skills for Success?
Supporting every career is a foundation of indispensable skills we like to call Skills for Success. Before we send our students out into the world to become the creators, designers, builders, and thinkers of tomorrow, we want them to have these foundational skills:
- Communication
- Adaptability
- Reading
- Collaboration
- Writing
- Digital
- Creativity & Innovation
- Numeracy
- Problem Solving

Skills for Success Workshops
Skills Canada – Nova Scotia offers fun and educational team-based workshops created to teach and demonstrate the importance of these nine Skills for Success. Each session includes interactive group activities designed to keep students engaged and learning together.

Workshops are offered in-person only. Once a teacher registers, they may request a preferred date and time. Our staff will then follow up to confirm the final schedule.
