This is just a part of the sentence. Should it be:
"and will equip me with the necessary skills to succeed in my career"
OR
"and will equip me with the skills necessary to succeed in my career"
Is it "necessary skills" or "skills necessary"

I vote for "skills necessary" too. When wording the sentence as, " . . . with the necessary skills . . ." it seems to impart a limited knowledge to qualify for the task.
To word the sentence as, " . . . with the skills necessary . . ." the meaning comes across as a stronger hint to focus on whatever is necessary for the job.

"and will equip me with the skills needed to succeed in my career."
OR:
"and will equip me with the skills I need to succeed in my career."
That's a bit more active and interesting.

Think about which part of speech each word represents.
Skills is an abstract noun
Necessary is an adjective
In English the convention is that the adjective most often comes before the noun it is describing.
