SOFT SKILLS TRAINING MAKES A DIFFERENCE!
What students said:
“At a meeting at my work, I smiled a lot more often. My supervisor was surprised
that someone my age was so positive.”
“I would have gotten fired earlier without these skills. Remembering to
be patient saved me on some occasions. I did lose my cool with a customer
and got fired, but now know to stay cool and be professional.”
“If you work in a professional environment, you have to learn to dress appropriately.”
“Monitor what you post online.”
“Reputation does count. Punctuality, appearance, etc. are as important
as your education.”
“Avoid saying ‘It’s not my job’ at work.”
