Technical Skills
It is important that you possess the technical skills i.e. the expertise in a particular field (Envi, Climate Change) to make your opinion of interest to others. This ideally goes beyond what you may have been taught in school and should include actual experience in your chosen field (High Speed train, tunnels, ports/airports, hydrology, climate adaptation, roads & bridges). In the information technology industry this expertise can become obsolete very quickly so it is important to continually hone your skills.
