The Core Skills for Work Developmental Framework (the CSfW) describes a set of non-technical skills,
knowledge and understandings that underpin successful participation in work. Participation in work could
be as an employee, as someone who is self-employed, or as a volunteer.
This set of non-technical skills, often referred to as generic or employability skills, contribute to work performance in combination with technical or discipline specific skills and core language, literacy and numeracy (LLN) skills.
