Module 0 Module 0 Introduction to Soft Skills Introduction to Soft Skills What soft skills are: Soft skills are innate and non-cognitive traits which also manifest as skills and can be further developed to serve for different purposes from personal life to work life. Soft skills are sector-agnostic. They manifest in everyday challenges and daily behaviour, and as they are very related to the emotional side of human nature, therefore the way soft skills are shown may be influenced by the situation and the different external stimuli, hindering even more their quantification. Soft skills are for instance, problem solving, creativity, readiness for change, internationality, people skills and communication. While hard skills are relatively easy to measure through qualifications and certificates, soft skills are widely difficult to quantify. Soft skills can be learnt through study, practice and application.
Module 0 Module 0 Introduction to Soft Skills Introduction to Soft Skills Why are soft skills important: Soft skills help to deliver the work. Soft skills are required to deliver the work and its content. For instance, learning theory and technical elements are not enough for an engineer, but soft skills, such as for instance problem solving and people skills are needed to deliver the work. Soft skills are sector agnostic and they are needed in every sector. They help to transfer between jobs and positions as one brings them to the new occupation or position. Soft skills make an employee more adaptable and flexible for an employer and hence more valuable, but they also protect an employee in a constantly changing work life.
