The Key Skills Foundation (2005) believes this entails:

1. Working with others is an opportunity for students to demonstrate personal qualities, which are not always fully celebrated in their other areas of study.
2. Working with others can be used to support students in tackling issues to do with social, cultural and personal identity, and associated values.
3. When students have a framework of skills that makes them more aware of the cooperative skills they have, they will more likely to be aware of the skills they need to develop further.
4. The rules and conventions of all social activities require people to cooperate, even when they are competing against each other, as in many kinds of sport. People need to co-operate with each other whether they are planning simply to meet another person or are planning a large-scale social event. While the skills and qualities needed for a successful social life are seldom expressed in the formal terms of Working with others, they are nevertheless the same.
5. The skill of working with others is intrinsic to our everyday lives and this is reflected in the skills, qualities and knowledge needed at each stage of the process.
