When most people hear the word 'handicapped', they think of person who is working but has a disability. However, in the working world that can mean someone who does not have a skills or experience in that form of work compared to others. Not everyone will share all the same forms of skills as others. We all learn differently and not everyone learns the same thing. Some people will be more skilled in an area than others just because they have more experience than them. For example, millennials might be more skilled at social media and technology than older generations such as baby boomers. That is because millennials grew up learning at a young age the use of social media and technology than others. Some people who have been in the workforce longer have to adjust to new changes, whereas millennials grew up constantly using many forms of technology, and that is how they learned.
Not everyone will have the same skills because we are all different people. Some people might be uncomfortable at presenting to big crowds whereas some people are completely fine with presenting. Some people are better at communication than others. Some have more experience than others. Each skill depends on someone's personality, experience, and familiarity with a certain skill. It helps that not everyone has the same skill set, because then you can have employees who are skilled at one ting and another set of employees skilled at something else. People who grew up learning things different, especially with he different generations, all have different forms of learning and have different skills. So handicap does not always mean disability, but it can mean something you do not have that others do in the work environment.
