Transferable skills
What does it mean?
Methodological competencies (metodefaglige kompetencer) — often called transferable skills in English — are ways of working applicable across industries: project management, facilitation, research methods, quality assurance, teaching and coaching techniques.
They complement professional (technical) and personal (soft) competencies. Emphasise them when changing career or industry to show you bring useful processes, not only domain knowledge.
Examples: agile/scrum methods, statistical analysis, user research, Lean processes, presentation techniques. Document with certifications and project outcomes.
Employers value transferable skills especially for management tracks and hybrid roles combining multiple domains.
