SOFT SKILLS TRAINING

75% of long-term job success depends on soft skills. In fact, the most sought after and hardest to find skills in the market today are soft skills.

What are Soft Skills?

Whereas hard skills are the tangible and technical skills easily demonstrated by a candidate’s qualifications and specific professional experiences, soft skills is a term used by employers to refer to the more intangible and non-technical abilities that are sought from candidates.

Soft skills are sometimes referred to as transferable skills or professional skills. As this term implies, these are skills that are less specialised, less rooted in specific vocations, and more aligned with the general disposition and personality of a candidate.

Examples of important soft skills are communication,teamwork and problem solving.

Soft skills relate to your attitudes and your intuitions. As soft skills are less referable to your qualifications and more personality-driven, it is important to consider what your soft skills are and how you might show evidence of them before you apply for a job.

WHY SOFT SKILLS ARE IMPORTANT ?

Soft skills, or interpersonal skills, relate to employees’ ability to get along well with others, social graces and communication abilities. Soft skills training for managers and employees is vital to successful collaboration in the workplace.

HR managers may interview candidates for a specific job, but emotional intelligence and other types of skills related to getting along with people should always be considered.

Some new employees may need soft skills training in particular areas like presentation or communication skills. Other employees may join the company with great mastery of other soft skills, but could use some refinement in areas like collaboration.
