Meta Skills

The Learning to Learn Skills for Future Success

Meta Skills Explained

Meta skills, also known as "learning to learn" skills, help you learn and develop other skills.  Meta skills empower individuals to thrive in unpredictable environments, fostering adaptability, resilience, and the ability to navigate complex challenges with a growth mindset. Distinct from soft skills, meta skills focus innate psychological capacities that enable continuous learning and problem-solving. These future skills are permanent and foundational, higher-order abilities. They provide the ability to operate effectively amidst uncertainty, leveraging interconnected networks and embracing diverse perspectives. With automation and AI reshaping the job market, meta skills offer a human touch, emphasizing socio-emotional attitudes and qualities vital in enhancing human-machine collaboration and adapting to AI technologies. Meta skills promote a culture of lifelong learning, encouraging individuals to proactively acquire new knowledge and competencies.
