When we think about the skills we use at work, we often know and understand the technical skills we have. These are quite obvious if we use them a lot e.g operating machinery, planning and managing a project. These type of technical skills are often skills learnt through a course and have a certification of completion.

Meta Skills are the skills we often don't realise we have but use everyday, such as being able to work with other people, solving a complex problem, thinking a little differently. These skills are harder to spot and even harder to demonstrate. But, we know these are essential, especially to get ahead in the world of work.
