Soft Skills

From social intelligence to flexibility and integrity, this program covers all that helps you shine in both professional and personal fronts

Job seekers often focus on whether they have the hard skills needed for their desired position. That makes sense. Hard skills are directly related to the functions they will need to perform. In contrast, soft skills can sometimes be overlooked even though they can make the difference when choosing between two job applicants.

Soft skills involve how you interact with people around you and respond to the work you are tasked with. Essential soft skills include a variety of social skills, such as communication, emotional intelligence, leadership, and conflict resolution. They can also include skills that help people specifically manage projects like time management, problem-solving, critical thinking, and resourcefulness. Organizations look for employees who display these characteristics because they can improve performance and help individuals or teams function efficiently and effectively.
