Skill stacking is the art of combining diverse skills, both core and complementary, to create a unique T-shaped skill set.
The T-shaped skill set represents core skills with proficient literacy in a specific field (denoted by the vertical bar of the T), and complementary and transferable skills with basic or functional literacy in adjacent or related fields (denoted by the horizontal bar of the T).
