SOFT SKILLS TRAINING
“Soft skills” are the skills that typically characterize our relationships with other people, and/or how we approach work and life.
They are typically associated with personality traits like emotional intelligence, good communication, high productivity, resilience, and a strong work ethic. They are skills that provide the groundwork for learning all other skills. These skills are often referred to as ‘people skills’, ‘life skills’, ‘essential skills’, ‘social skills’, ‘core skills’, or ‘transferable skills’.
“Hard skills”, by contrast, usually refer to the quantifiable, technical, job-specific skills. Hard skills are often associated with highly technical professions, like nursing, software development or the trades, like plumbing or carpentry. People often refer to these skills as ‘threshold skills’ or ‘vocational skills.'”
While soft skills are less tangible and harder to quantify, they are skills critical to all personal, professional and organizational success. The ideal nurse would have the technical expertise to use medical equipment, but would also have great bedside manner. The irony is that soft skills are often harder to learn, which is why we are here to help.

We work with businesses to build soft skills in their staff and students.
Across all industries, employers and industry leaders are identifying soft skills like communication, teamwork, time management, emotional intelligence, and leadership as critical skills for job hunters and employees alike. Yet, these core skills and several others are relatively absent in the traditional education model. The result is students who become employees without the requisite abilities to excel in their careers. SkillsCamp teaches this “missing curriculum” to help people become more employable and more effective leaders and contributors.
We believe in adapting to our clients’ needs. Our clients choose the skill they want to develop and the most convenient method of delivery. SkillsCamp then customizes our learning to their specific industry, and their contextual needs.
We are a value-driven company. We care about how people learn as much as what they learn. At SkillsCamp, we tailor to the needs and learning styles of our students and clients. We believe the best way to learn is when you can bring your whole self. Our instructors walk the walk by living and working in what they teach everyday.
