SignaTweet THOMAS & FRIENDSSoft skills are getting more important
torchgroup.com“Because businesses have become less dictatorial and more social, the value of soft skills to an organization is growing.
In order to gain a competitive edge, employers want people who know how to handle themselves at work and how to relate to customers and colleagues.”
littlethingsmatter.com“It’s often said that hard skills will get
you an interview but you need soft skills to get and keep the job. It’s no longer enough to be an expert in a field of knowledge. Competition is fierce; it’s your soft skills that make
you stand out.”
astd.org“Traditionally, higher education has not focused on teaching these skills; however, many for-profit sector schools have begun to integrate them into their curriculum, bringing a greater awareness to this growing training need.”
