Capacity Building and skills enhancement initiatives

Soft skills are roughly defined as the capacity and ability of an individual to adapt to changing circumstances. A soft skill is a personal attribute that supports situational awareness and enhances an individual's ability to get a job done. Soft skills include any skill that can be classified as a personality trait or habit. In short, they encompass emotionally-based non-curricular skills that are not generally measurable.

Soft skills training are important to students because they enable students to adjust to the frustrations and challenges they will encounter in their adult life, as well as the demands of work. Mastering soft skills help students learn, live and work better.

Language and Communication skills

Communication is an important skill for every modern student to master. Advances in digital media, changing career landscapes, and greater competition in colleges and workplaces makes improving student communication skills a must. Communication and language development are about more than talking. It means all the different ways a student understands and communicates, only part of which are spoken words.

Communication skills are needed for students in our college to interact with or collaborate with the professors, administrators and other students effectively, read and understand class assignments and test questions effectively, present a class project in front of others effectively.

Life Skills

Life skills are important for everyone, particularly for our students coming from various lived experiences, financial situations, and ability levels. They may lack more basic skills that they'll need for employment or to navigate the challenging aspects of adult life. Effectively managing time and being responsible are adult life skills that college graduates need to successfully navigate not only their careers, but their personal lives as well.

Practicing life skills leads to qualities such as self-esteem, sociability and tolerance, competencies to take action and generate change, and the capability to have the freedom to decide what to do and who to be. These are the skills that one needs, to make the most out of life.
