The Skills Employers Demand: An Analysis of the Research
Courtney Leidner
Southern Regional Education Board (SREB)
To meet the demands of jobs, now and in the future, jobseekers should possess a variety of skills frequently requested by employers. Skills can be both academic and technical in nature but also include personal qualities and advanced cognitive skills, such as decision-making and interpersonal skills--referred to in this report as success skills. Southern Regional Education Board (SREB) conducted a review of relevant research over the past 10 years (2013-2023) on non-technical skills to identify the success skills employers most often seek. This report summarizes relevant studies, skills gaps and credentialing to help policymakers, educators and businesses align efforts to prepare students for the workplace.
