Soft skills are important for personal and professional success. They include life skills, emotional intelligence, and social skills. Developing soft skills gives individuals self-awareness, an understanding of opportunities and how to achieve aspirations, and the ability to review outcomes and take action. Soft skills help students gain both academic knowledge and the awareness, critical thinking, and reflective skills needed to enhance their learning and prepare for future careers or further education.
