+1: Confidence

Many organizations, including workforce development and training providers, highlight Confidence as the “+1” skill. Confidence supports success across all other skills by helping individuals:

• Believe in their abilities.
• Try new things.
• Communicate effectively.
• Take initiative.
• Continue learning and growing.

While Confidence is not an official Skills for Success category, it is widely recognized as an essential ingredient for success in education, training, and the workplace.
