Report Overview
About Soft Skills
Soft skills can be broadly categorized into three: character, interpersonal skills, and critical and creative thinking. In both academic and corporate environment, effective soft skills play a crucial role in enabling individuals communicate effectively, manage relationships, lead a team, and solve problems. Therefore, apart from training students and employees in technical skills, organizations and educational institutions also focus on imparting soft skills. Demand for this type of training is higher in the corporate sector than the academic sector. Intensified competition has pushed organizations into diversifying their business regionally and internationally, increasing the need for proper training and development of their workforce.
Technavio’s analysts forecast the global soft skills training market to grow at a CAGR of 9.86% in terms of revenue over the period 2014-2019.
