Skills are technical in nature and relate directly to a role/job. E.g Presentation Skills. Competencies are non-technical. They are an attitude, behavior, or personal characteristic that accompany any role. E.g. Self-confidence. The two are link together. If you are developing your presentation skills, your self-confidence will in turn increase. Competencies are not bound to any one skills, they can be used across all of them.
