Soft Skills : Overview
HUMAN CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT
Personal Enhancement Programme for Pre-Graduates
IN a recent Jobstreet.com poll on unemployed graduates,
some 3,800 hiring managers expressed the worn-out grouse —
local graduates are simply not up to the mark!
They are unhappy with graduates’ poor command of English,
unsatisfactory character, attitude or personality, unrealistic
expectations of salaries or benefits, limited general knowledge
and poor demonstration of problem-solving skills, among others.

Introduction in view of the above, we believe it should be a shared responsibility
of the nation. This program is designed to prepare pre-graduates for the
real world awaiting them. Conducting a job search is in itself a full
time job. Thorough preparation increases the chance of having a successful
interview. In order to boost that chance, this program is designed to
cover key topics such as resume writing, job interviewing, communication
and personal grooming.
Learning Objectives
At the end of the program, the participants will be able to:
- Understand the holistic approach they need to prepare before stepping
into the job market.
- Understand that job search is a process to market and sell
oneself.
- Prepare and write resume that impresses potential employers.
- Handle the job interview session better to increase the success
rates.
- Develop an attractive personality to impress potential employer
through personal grooming, communication, and confidence.
Methodology
Concepts and techniques will be internalised throughout the workshop
through lectures, role-plays and group activities using an integrative
learning approach.
Number of Days
This is a 2-day workshop subject to fine-tuning depending on the
participants’. |
