Not merely technical skills, but human capabilities are the underlying knowledge, skills, and personal attributes or experiences required to perform in a role today, and to confirm a person's potential to rapidly assume emerging future roles. Focusing on what people can do and be, rather than being exclusively directed towards their skills or the assets they have at their disposal, is the approach on education concerned with the capabilities of each individual.
