In this episode, Vanessa explores the top transferable skills that teachers already possess, making them highly competitive for jobs in 2025. These skills include emotional intelligence (EQ), data literacy, adaptability, project management, strong communication, and problem-solving. Vanessa explains how these abilities align with various career paths outside of education, such as project management, instructional design, user experience research, event planning, and more. She emphasizes the importance of recognizing and translating these skills for roles in fields like nonprofit work, tech, customer service, and even voice-over artistry. Teachers are well-equipped for success in numerous industries and can leverage their skills to create fulfilling second careers.
