Through a range of fun and engaging activities we show students how the soft skills they are developing in and out of school will help them in their future careers. Students learn about the skills employers are looking for, self assess their own skill levels and learn about careers of the future. Business professionals will join the workshop remotely via video call to give context on the skills they use and have developed in their careers.
Help students understand the importance of soft skills and how the skills they are developing are vital for all careers. Share your experiences with students about how you use your soft skills in the workplace so they can see how to apply their skills in the future.
Answer set questions and take part in a virtual Q&A with the students using your experience of what skills are valuable in your career.
