“Skills” you develop in IB?

Always hear about training, learning, and growth. In college, you take classes and learn academic concepts that are - for the most part - pretty useless. Is it similar in IB? What do you learn in IB that is so useful? And how do you practice those on the job? For professionals, have you blatantly seen yourself develop those skills over time?
