An increasing number of employers globally are observing a significant deficiency in soft skills among new hires and interns. Frequently, these newcomers find it challenging to integrate into teams or adapt to the workplace, leading to difficulties for both the individuals and the organizations. Employers note that while graduates possess the technical abilities required for particular tasks, they often struggle with effective communication with colleagues, partners, or clients. In today's workplace, employees need not only to have specialized knowledge in their area but also to be proficient in several key soft skills. These skills encompass strong verbal and written communication, teamwork (including collaboration across cultures), active listening, clear information presentation, delegation, time management, critical thinking, and emotional intelligence.
The summer school designed to introduce participants to a range of essential soft skills, enabling students to enhance and refine their knowledge and practical application of these competencies. By recognizing the value placed on soft skills by contemporary employers, the summer school seeks to establish their incorporation into higher education curricula, particularly in fields like engineering, where they are seen as vital professional skills.
