Physical skills involve the use of gross and fine motor skills.
Learning skills cover activities such as instructing others, learning (formally or informally), and keeping up-to-date with developments in one’s professional field.

‘key competencies required for success in the labor market and in life more generally and feature prominently in international and national frameworks setting out objectives for skills development, the learning outcomes expected of education and training systems. Since social and emotional skills display elements of continuity and elements of change over time and with age, this module tries to assess the extent to which these
types of skills feature in the public and official discourse regarding skills, skills development, and the desired learning outcomes of education and training systems.
