SKILLS AND SUCCESS

Todays global economy has had a shift from industrial-manufacturing to technology-knowledge having an impact on the skills developed by the new workforce. Traditionally, having strong hard skills were enough for career advance and employment. In todays work environment increasing importance has been given to soft skills. This means that acquiring and improving both, soft and hard skills, are critical for a complete and productive professional with high performance. Studies have demonstrated a gap of soft skills in the new workforce. These skills can be taught and learned, so its vital to include them in the official schools curriculum to guarantee well prepared graduates with the skills needed for the future.
