Watch to Learn What Transferable Skills Employers Want Now!
If we’re being candid, when it comes to raw knowledge, it’s hard for human workers to beat artificial intelligence (AI).
After all, AI is tapping on giant databases to formulate its answers, while most of us will have problems remembering what our secondary school textbooks taught us on any given day.
But that doesn’t mean you’ll lose out to AI when it comes to the job market, because ultimately, employers want well-rounded employees.
The fact is, knowledge is merely the acquisition of facts and information, but wisdom is the ability to apply that knowledge and experience to make sound judgements.
Ko Hui Yun, Chief Operating Officer at All Saints Home, believes that transferable skills have changed with the advent of AI, and broadened the definition of such skills as well.
“Traditional strengths such as communication, teamwork, and leadership remain foundational, but the digital age demands more,” she said.
She is also a WSG Volunteer Career Advisor (VCA), a Workforce Singapore (WSG) community-driven initiative designed to support individuals in navigating their career journeys with confidence.
Launched with the aim of fostering career resilience and growth, the initiative connects individuals with industry experts from diverse industries who volunteer their time and expertise.
Companies now look for adaptability, digital fluency, and critical thinking in how people engage with technology, Hui Yun added.
“It’s not simply about using AI tools, but about applying them responsibly, interpreting outputs with discernment, and integrating them with human creativity and empathy — qualities that remain uniquely human.”
