Background
Being a successful peer-led team learning (PLTL) workshop leader involves developing content knowledge and workshop facilitation skills. These skills connected to being a peer leader, however, do not terminate at the end of one’s undergraduate program. In fact, many former peer leaders denote having been a peer leader on their LinkedIn profile. This study examines the transferable skills that former peer leaders identified as being valuable in their current positions. We conducted semi-structured interviews with former peer leaders from varying disciplines, universities, ages, and years since being a peer leader.

Results
Interview questions captured leadership experiences including successes and challenges of being peer leaders, roles and responsibilities, and specific transferable skills further developed by being peer leaders and how they are being utilized in the leaders’ current position.

Conclusion
Thematic analyses of these interviews indicate that former peer leaders recognize leadership skills, coping with many challenges (including not having the right answer), collaboration/teamwork skills, self-confidence, and problem-solving skills as being relevant and frequently used in their current work.

超越内容知识：与PLTL计划中的同行领导者的经验相关的可转移技能和长期影响

背景技术
作为一名成功的由同伴主导的团队学习（PLTL）研讨会的负责人，需要开发内容知识和研讨会促进技能。但是，与成为领导者相关的这些技能并不会在本科课程结束时终止。实际上，许多以前的同行领导者表示曾在他们的LinkedIn个人资料中担任过同行领导者。这项研究研究了前同辈领导人认为在当前职位上有价值的可转移技能。自从担任同行领导以来，我们对来自不同学科，大学，年龄和年份的前同行领导进行了半结构化采访。

结果
面试问题记录了领导者的经验，包括成为同伴领导者的成功与挑战，角色和责任，以及通过同伴领导者进一步发展的具体可转移技能，以及如何在领导者的当前职位上利用它们。

结论
对这些访谈的主题分析表明，前同事领导者认识到领导技能，应对许多挑战（包括没有正确答案），协作/团队合作技能，自信心和解决问题的技能是相关且经常在他们中使用的当前的工作。
