What are Critical Core Skills?

Enhance your employability with Critical Core Skills (CCS) as identified by SkillsFuture Singapore

In today’s competitive labour market, individuals who demonstrate a combination of soft and hard skills are seen as talents in demand.

To support holistic workforce skills development, SkillsFuture Singapore has consulted closely with Singapore employers to formulate 16 Critical Core Skills (CCS) competencies which are deemed essential soft skills at the workplace.

Soft skills are broadly defined as a set of observable transferable behaviours that can be applied across sectors, functional areas and job roles. In one of SkillsFuture Singapore’s webinars “Skills in Demand at Workplace for Now and Future”, Charlene Tan, Regional Sales Director from Workday highlighted how soft skills represent a person’s emotional intelligence quotient (EQ) and social intelligence.

The competencies are categorised under 3 clusters of skills:
Thinking Critically
Cognitive skills needed for broad and creative thinking, which help individuals see connections and opportunities.
Staying relevant
Effectively managing your personal brand and well-being while keeping up-to-date with trends that impact work and daily life.
Interacting with Others
The ability to communicate effectively and learn from others, exchange ideas and build a shared understanding of a problem.
