Business, college, and university leaders are in desperate need of people who possess “soft skills”, the skills defined as “the personal habits and traits that shape how one works, either individually or with others”. In a recent survey conducted by Indeed.com, one of the largest job search websites in the world, 1,000 hiring managers were asked to list the most important attributes of the top performers at their companies. All of the attributes listed were soft skills: problem-solving, effective communication, self-direction, adaptability, and work ethic. At New Tech, we place high priority on preparing our students for a successful future. To accomplish this, along with the traditional courses of study (math, science, English, social sciences, etc.), the teaching, modeling, and assessing of these essential soft skills are incorporated right alongside all course content.
