It is no longer a matter of foolishness to say that grade-based education, that is, education measured only by a level of academics has lost its power in every city of the world. No longer is any First class honoured graduate who lacks skills & practical proficiency in a certain field considered a qualified and effective candidate to be given a job responsibility – this is the number one reason to be considered for a high level of unemployment rate among graduate youths in every city of the world before talking about lack of job opportunities…
Increasingly, employers of labour & others are emphasizing the need for the qualities, skills, & aptitudes which classroom teachings are not designed to produce – these include: Communication (both Written And Spoken) skills, Listening skills, Flexibility and Adaptability, Cultural Awareness and Sensitivity, Information Literacy, Collaboration and Teamwork spirit, Analytical ability, proactive skill, Creativity and innovation, Critical Thinking skill, Problem-Solving skill, Media Literacy, Networking and Relationship, Leadership skills, Productive & Initiative ability, Inner Strength, Disciplined Mind, Courage and Risk-taking ability, Synthesizing Mind, Public Speaking skills, Respectful Mind, Ethnical Mind, Perseverance, Enthusiasm, Emotional Intelligence, Management, Organisation & Administrative ability, Self-Motivation, Reliability, Presentation ability, Prioritization, Teachability, Integrity, Etc.
When a graduate enters the labour market with his/her certificate, what helps such a graduate gets a job or starts one successfully in time and keeps him/her there is the possession and exhibition of these skills and qualities. However, as much as many people are talking about these skills and abilities, one gap that is yet to be adequately bridged lies in the common question that goes thus: How can young people who do not have any job experiences get soft skills developed right before they enter labour market?
How to deal with the ‘HOW’ is the focus of this book, written based on research by a thinking and proactive educator, A. S. Helen, who proves that school is where the solutions lie. And as a reference, he shows how some impact-making people around the world developed these skills as a student or an undergraduate while in school, and practically explains how you, as either a student or an undergraduate, can & should get involved in different activities that will enable you to develop the skills.
