This presentation will provide tips on how to enhance soft skills in the workplace by featuring a live mock interview. It will also provide information to job-seekers about job opportunities, skills and training, and wage subsidy programs.

Soft skills - also referred to as people skills, human skills, or life skills - can help workers and organizations build stronger relationships, inspire ideation, problem solve, empower collaboration, and promote a healthier workplace. Despite the critical importance of soft skills in the workplace, they are notoriously difficult to acquire through traditional training methods. Unlike the latest software, soft skills don't come with a user manual. They are developed through years of practice, feedback, and self-reflection. This presentation will provide an opportunity to learn how to answer commonly asked questions with our best practices and tactical support.
 
Furthermore, job-seekers will learn about job opportunities, accessing skills and training, and wage subsidy programs including  Youth Boost and SWPP, along with learning about the Outcome Campus Connect platform. 
 
Presenters:

  • Kathleen Moore, Program Engagement Coordinator
  • Sujan Shrirangathas, Program Engagement Coordinator
