Transferable skills analysis is a set of tests or logic to etermine what positions a person may fill if they currently have no position (eg. a recent immigrant) or they cannot do their last position (for example, because of an injury). An informal transferable skills analysis can be performed with the help of a career counselor, career portfolio or a career planning article or book. Transferable skills are determined by analyzing past accomplishments or experience. For instance, a stay-at-home parent and homemaker might find they have skills in budgeting, child development, food services, property management, and so on.
