Secretary’s Commission on the Acquisition of Necessary Skills (SCANS)- SCANS skills are a
group of foundational skills and workplace competencies that the Secretary’s Commission on the
Acquisition of Necessary Skills established as vitally important for workplace success in the 21st
century. In Collin’s workforce programs, the SCANS skills are developed and reinforced
throughout the curriculum to provide students with an opportunity to hone these
skills/competencies in the context of their education. Over the course of an entire degree
program, the successful student is expected to demonstrate all of the SCANS skills and
competencies as part of their education. The SCANS Foundation Skills and Workplace
Competencies are described at:
