Essential Skills Guide

After collating dozens of essential skills/soft skills guides, a Mountain Desert Economic Partnerships team solicited feedback from hundreds of local business and community partners to isolate the most critical set of Essential Skills that support and elevate employee success in the local workplace. Please use this guide to drive deep conversations with your students, incoming employees, or office teams. And if you use it in a way that you find particularly effective, please share with us! We’d love to spread the word around best practices. Also let us know if you want your business’ logo included in the document.
