The ability to think critically... that is, think for themselves. Such a skill would empower people in all areas of life. As it is now, most prefer to believe what others tell them without reasoning through the information.

Reading, writing, spelling, grammar usage and arithmetic are the essential skills to learn today. Anything else beyond that is advanced and extracurricular. This ia a standard benefit of not being illiterate and incompetent. There are many high paying jobs out there that only require these essentials. And can live life happily ever after.

Writing. Many people have difficulty writing a basic report, and in any job, being able to express yourself in written form is a must. People admire good writing, and one cannot move up in any business without this skill.

Communication, Learning anything is futile if you can not communicate your knowledge, Having feelings and emotions is a terrible thing if you can not express them. It is the ability to share your experience, question and help others.

Assuming the person is literate, I would say knowing how to find answers. Nobody can learn everything, so it is important to learn how to find information that is needed.
