Soft Skills PRO for HiEd, Vocational Training & Workforce

Ensuring Employability in the Age of AI

When it comes to getting and keeping a job in today’s rapidly changing robotic world, it’s no longer just the other guy you need to worry about. Artificial Intelligence is fast becoming the greatest competition in the workplace. Technical skills and knowledge are no longer enough to ensure employability. AI has changed all that.

Today’s employers demand that potential new hires also possess a strong set of essential real people skills needed to succeed in the workplace. More and more, companies are hiring for attitude and training for aptitude. They have machines that can do a lot of things people can do. But they don’t have a lot of people that can demonstrate strong communication skills, work ethics, critical thinking, problem solving, leadership potential, and a positive attitude in the workplace.

Hard skills, they’ve got.

It’s soft skills they need.

Skills AI cannot replace.

Soft Skills Pro is specifically designed to help participants prepare to enter or re-enter the workforce by equipping them with the essential real people skills and employability traits needed to ensure employability and to meet and beat today’s AI workplace challenge.

Here's how it works.

Get Ready, Prepared, Go!

Get Ready

The Soft Skills Pro journey begins with our Workforce and Life Essentials (WLE) Course – an interactive soft skills curriculum designed to prepare participants for work and life success. The Workforce and Life Essentials (WLE) course is aligned with the employability traits that all industries look for when hiring new employees. The WLE course is taught 100% online and consists of the following 10 modules.

It is not your aptitude but your attitude that will determine your success in and after high school. A positive attitude is the essence of life and career achievement, which is why the most successful companies hire for attitude and train for aptitude.

This seminar will show you how to soar to new heights with an attitude of gratitude that sees life's challenges as opportunities.

Interpersonal connection is essential for our well-being and happiness as human beings. Interpersonal connections allow us to share our experiences, thoughts, and feelings with others, and to receive feedback and validation. These connections help us build trust and empathy, which are critical for maintaining healthy and successful relationships in all aspects of life, including personal, professional, and social. In a world where technology often replaces face-to-face communication, nurturing interpersonal connections is crucial.

The process of cultural understanding challenges us to stop jumping to conclusions and stop making judgments about other people from our own set of cultural values. Instead this seminar encourages you to learn about cultural differences so that you can understand why other people behave the way they do. Once you understand and appreciate differences you can begin to more effectively socialize and work with people from a wide range of cultural backgrounds and bridge the cultural gap rather than make it even greater.

TESTIMONIALS

What I learned from the course is basically how to be a decent human being.

I learned what type of attitudes and traits to pick up to help me in my life. I learned how to respect people’s cultures. I learned that my character is who I really am.

How I incorporated this newfound knowledge in life is changing my personality for the better.

Casandra H.

"I'm honestly very sad that these courses are ending. I'm really going to miss all the motivational videos. The skill that I learned or gained the most knowledge on was the part about time management and leadership legacy.

I learned that everyone has a choice and no one can make those for me except me and it starts with today!

Thank you Soft Skills High

Honestly through this course I've become a more open minded person

and throughout this short period of time taking the course I have noticed that it includes essential life lessons such as: self confidence, positivism, and tolerance

Martina T.

By doing these courses

I have learned so much and have been able to remove A LOT of negative thoughts from my mind and replaced them with positive thoughts.

I am now more open minded than before and I'm ready to take on the workforce with the additional skills I have learned. I will also apply these skills to my personal life to better my attitude and myself as a person

Taylor W.

I learned so much from this course.

It shows you the right way to go through life.

There are going to be ups and downs but life is like a roller coaster. Always accomplish your goals and you can do anything you put your mind to.

Kimberley F.

Since joining this course I have seen a brighter and happier view within myself on life.

I have used these traits in my work and school life by always taking the time to stop and listen to someone who may be explaining something that I do not understand fully. Asking questions has also allowed me to get over stumps and hurdles which may have hindered me from growing my knowledge.

Why Soft Skills are the Future of work

A degree no longer guarantees a successful career. Transitional skills, also known as soft skills, are now also required, and they are not necessarily certified by an academic qualification. The fact that companies like Google, Ernst & Young and IBM have recently recruited candidates without academic qualifications proves this point. And they are not alone: Apple, Starbucks and other American companies have begun to realise that they need to diversify their workforces. “When you look at people who don’t go to school and they make their way in the world, those are exceptional human beings. And we should do everything we can to find those people,” is the view of Laszlo Bock, former senior vice president of people operations at Google.

The future of work is becoming more reliant on technology and automation, which means that many technical skills that are currently in demand may become obsolete in the coming years. Soft skills, however, are human qualities that cannot be easily replicated by machines. Therefore, the ability to demonstrate soft skills will become even more important in the future, as employers look for candidates who can work collaboratively, think critically, and communicate effectively with others. The modern workplace is becoming more focused on creativity and innovation, and soft skills play a crucial role in these areas. Creative problem-solving, collaboration, and communication skills are all important for developing new ideas and bringing them to fruition. As such, individuals who possess these skills will be highly sought after in industries that value innovation and creativity.

As the workplace continues to evolve and become more competitive, employers are placing increasing value on candidates who possess a range of soft skills in addition to technical skills. Individuals who can work collaboratively, communicate effectively, adapt to changing circumstances, and demonstrate leadership skills will be highly valued by employers.
