A government panel has identified the abilities required to be a good citizen and worker, to help students prepare for job-hunting and provide a common view among students and firms as to what the most important abilities are.
The panel, chaired by Chief Cabinet Secretary Shinzo Abe, was set up to promote the diversification of job opportunities. It compiled a list of 12 fundamental abilities every citizen should have, which include: independence; planning skills; listening skills; respect for social rules; flexibility; creativity; analytical skills; people skills; expressive skills; coping with stress, and being goal-oriented.
The formalization of abilities needed at the workplace and within local communities is expected to help students find a job and assist them to acquire necessary job skills.
The categorization is expected to help companies and students agree on what abilities can be expected beyond those directly related to occupation or educational background, when companies recruit or students apply for a job.
