The 'Developing Meta-Skills' breakout session is being held as part of the Orkney Careers Fair and is aimed at teachers and employers.

The Pickaquoy Centre

Meta-skills are the innate, timeless, higher-order skills that create adaptive learners, able to succeed whatever the future brings. From birth, children use and develop meta-skills as they test and explore the world around them.In education, it is essential that practitioners nurture and develop meta-skills within learners so they are able to navigate a world that is increasingly complex and unpredictable.In employment, you want both your potential and current workforce to have well-developed meta-skills so they are able to cope and respond to change, enabling your organisation and workforce to thrive in the future.This session will help you learn more about meta-skills, what they are and how they can be developed and utilised in education and the world of work.
