Grammar: Please check if the sentence is observing parallelism?
"I aim to improve my communication skills, team building techniques and awareness of services."
I'm not sure if the words are parallel.

They are parallel. Each of the three things is a noun, something that you aim to improve. You can check for parallelism by repeating the sentence for each element to see if they all sound similar:
I aim to improve my communication skills.
I aim to improve my team building techniques.
I aim to improve my awareness of services.
A non-parallel construction would be something like:
I aim to improve my communication skills, team building techniques and hope to give good service.
That third element sounds wrong because it's not in parallel.
