| Abstract [eng] |
Higher education is increasingly now established in ways that entail strategies to cope with change, competitiveness, uncertainty, and high expectations of both students and communities. Recent years have seen significant curricular developments in an attempt to foster learning relevance, authenticity, and to boost student employability. Impactful changes are yet to be seen. There is obviously a gap between the needs and demands of future employers and the skills of the students graduating from the universities. Most often, students will possess sufficient theoretical knowledge but lack other necessary capacities, such as soft skills or teamwork experience required in work contexts. Societal and economic development depends on educational institutions to play a pivotal role in preparing the future workforce. Seen through this lens, soft skills become a game-changer in student employability and an expected response to the changing higher education socio-economic landscapes. |
