Soft skills are transferable and can help you excel at your job no matter what you do or where you work. Popular soft skills among employers currently include communication, adaptability, tech-savviness, creativity, leadership, critical thinking, and emotional intelligence. At the HEI level, the students are taught how to adapt to a different situation. In a work atmosphere, often, we are pushed to face novel circumstances, and one should be able to adapt to them. One who learns to adapt to changing situations can respond better in the workplace when new problems arise. Other soft skills taught at the HEI level are time management, teamwork, public speaking, and more.
