Soft Skills for Work and Beyond

In a recent survey on opinions of employers on major aspects of performance of first degree graduates, it was found that the overall performance of graduates was quite satisfactory, implying that they were able to perform better than the required standard of employers. According to the results, graduates received the highest score in Information Technology Literacy and the lowest score in Management Skills. As such, a series of soft skills workshops have been organised with the objective to better prepare you for the workplace. These skills are as useful in your life as a student as it is in the workplace. The sooner you attend these workshops, the more time you will have to practise them.
