Human Skills

Human skills at Dev Academy is designed to build confidence in working with people. We hope to empower you with the skills and tools you need to approach the challenges that arise.

The training material is highly experiential: we won’t just be learning concepts, but generalisable and practical skills. These skills can be used in your everyday interactions with work colleagues and improve relationships in your day-to-day life. We hope that the end result will be that you will be equipped with tools to use personally.

Our content draws on timeless principles and research-based frameworks that are being applied in top organisations around the world. Human skills are delivered in a way that will meet you at whatever level of experience and confidence you have and move you towards growth.
