  • Soft Skills As Employability Skills: Fundamental Requirement for Entry-Level Jobs
    Soft Skills as Employability Skills: Fundamental Requirement for Entry-level Jobs ~ Netra Bahadur Subedi1 Abstract In spite of the fact that the term ‘soft skills’ is new in our context, it has a wide range of implications and effects. Soft skills are intangible, nontechnical, personality-specific skills that determine one’s strengths as a leader, facilitator, mediator, and negotiator. Soft skills are contrasted to hard skills in a sense that hard skills are limited to specific area. It is to be noted that in the course of seeking an employment in the market, individual’s soft skills are as important as hard skills. It is found that person’s hard skills lead an individual to the entrance of job market, soft skills guarantee the job opportunity and further career growth. It is urgent that we have to instill our graduates with remarkable amount of soft skills for quick employment. It is always advisable that the companies select human resources with the best non-technical skills that are likely to be available in the labour market. It is further important to foster and develop the employees. Thus, these inter-sectional skills are really important for the promotion and enhancement of the organization. Owing to the same fact, this paper argues how soft skills as employability are fundamental requirement for entry-level Jobs. Key Words: Soft Skills, EQ, Civic Sense, Social Graces, Technical Skills Opening the Window Nowadays people are much concerned about soft skills. Though it is a new term in the academia, business houses and government offices, it has been a buzz word.

Driven by conflicting reports and data, the conversation shows no signs of abating. On the one hand, economic indicators commonly used to identify gaps point to problems limited to only certain occupations (like health occupations) and certain provinces (like Alberta) rather than to a general skills crisis. On the other hand, employers continue to report a mismatch between the skills they need in their workplaces and those possessed by job seekers, and to voice concern that the postsecondary system is not graduating students with the skills they need. This paper is the first of three on Canada’s skills gap. It outlines the conflicting views around the existence and extent of a divide between the skills postsecondary graduate possess and those employers want.

  • Emotional Intelligence for Internal Auditors
    Feature Emotional Intelligence for Internal Auditors Understand and develop your soft skills By Deborah A. Radke, CPA building and keeping trust relationship strategies nternal auditors need specific technical skills and Iexpertise to be successful in their jobs. However, our soft skills play an even more significant role in our professional success. These soft skills are n necessary in our dealings with our clients during o i t a an audit, in our interactions with the leaders of c i n c u o m m our organizations, and in daily interchanges with co-workers in our own department. A 2013 white paper by The Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA) and Robert Half International emphasized the concept of soft skills.1 Soft skills cover a broad landscape of competencies in areas such as communication, relationship strategies, building and keeping trust, navigating through situations, negotiating skills, constructive conflict management, and empathy. All these traits revolve around how you relate with other people and are linked with your emotional intelligence (EI). Over the past two decades, studies have shown that a person’s degree of EI is more important than IQ, advanced degrees or technical work experiences, whether you work in an entry-level job or a leadership position. For example, the IIA Research Foundation issued a report in 2011 on understanding and applying soft skills. An auditor’s success emotional intelligence or failure is dependent on relationships and communication, empathy with high levels of emotional and social intelligence

  • Bridging the Soft Skills Gap
    BRIDGING THE SOFT SKILLS GAP How the Business and Education Sectors Are Partnering to Prepare Students for the 21st Century Workforce CONTENT 1. The Soft Skills Gap 2. The Case for Collaboration Between the Business & Education Sectors 3. Profiles of Successful Partnerships 4. Pathways to Impact 5. More Information OVERVIEW Despite U.S. high school graduation rates reaching all-time highs, many employers are finding that recent graduates are unprepared to succeed in the workforce because they lack foundational “soft skills.” While technical skills are often industry-specific, soft skills such as professional communication, critical thinking, collaboration, and time management are valued by employers across sectors. The importance of these skills is widely acknowledged, yet they are not taught with consistency or given prioritization. Closing the gap between the soft skills employers require in their workforce and those that students leave school with is essential. This can and should be achieved through collaboration between business and education at the local level. Bridging the Soft Skills Gap makes the case for partnerships between the business and education sectors and outlines strategies already being used successfully across the country. It offers practical recommendations for businesses seeking to make an impact and profiles five successful partnerships established by Nike, EY, Wegmans, Wynn Las Vegas, and the Northern Kentucky Education Council. 2 1 The Soft Skills Gap Despite U.S. high school graduation rates reaching all-time highs,(1) a growing number of employers across industries are reporting that job applicants lack the basic skills needed to succeed in the workforce.(2) Even when applicants make it past the interview process, employers are coping with new hires who are unsure of how to write a professional email, struggle to organize and prioritize tasks, or have a difficult time collaborating with coworkers.
