Skills development

Not everyone wants training for a specific career. Many people are reluctant to commit to one sector of employment. Others recognise that many employers value "soft skills" rather than specific training. They want to hire candidates who have worked successfully in a wide variety of situations. That makes them more flexible and condifident workers.

In just a few weeks of working the Slivers-of-Time way, it's possible to gain paid employment in multiple industries, fulfilling different tasks at a range of premises. That real-world experience can outweigh classroom training in some employer's eyes. On top of that: many businesses that buy Slivers-of-Time workers choose to train pools of them so the organisation has top-up workers who are already inducted. It all contributes to the broad base of expertise these markets offer. Read how some sellers are utilising that potential in the menu opposite.
