Sixty-three percent of recent college graduates say they are well prepared in the soft skills required for job success, while only 14% of employers agree. What’s missing? According to Bridging the Soft Skills Gap from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce (www.AlleghenyConference.org/SoftSkills), soft skills like commitment/ accountability, written communication, time management, professionalism, and critical thinking/ problem solving are lacking.
In addition, 4 out of 5 recent graduates and 73% of employers say a soft-skills certificate course would help. Now knowing this, 7 out of 10 graduates say they would have invested significant time for soft skills training while in college.
Lesson-Up has the curriculum.
