What’s the point of this? Find the skills that matter everywhere.

Have you ever sat in class wondering when you’ll actually use what you’re learning? The truth is, school isn’t just about the subject—it’s about the skills you build along the way. These transferable skills go with you no matter what career you choose, and they’re often the difference between just getting by and truly standing out.

Transferable Skills is a course designed to help high school students like you see education (and life) in a new light: not as tedious tasks, but as opportunities to practice abilities you’ll carry into every future job, career, or challenge. You’ll learn how to:

  • Recognize and build universally valuable skills like problem-solving, critical thinking, communication, and resilience.
  • Reframe boring or “irrelevant” assignments into meaningful chances to grow.
  • Identify the skills you already excel at—and practice the ones you want to strengthen.
  • Connect daily habits and classroom moments to the bigger picture of your future success.

Through examples, reflection, and hands-on exercises, you’ll discover that every moment can be a chance to grow. You’ll leave this course with a clearer understanding of the skills that make you adaptable, employable, and ready for whatever comes next.

💡 Instead of asking “What’s the point of this?” you’ll learn to ask, “What skill am I building right now?”
