Abstract
Today, everyone is rushing to get as
many technical skills as possible because they think that achieving a degree is
much sufficient to secure a good job in a company. Considering the outlook of
majority, most of the people still follow tedious approach but at the same time
there are certain companies which have started demanding soft skills to work in
a multinational company or small-scale organization. So, by observing this
demand many colleges and educational institutions are adapting this change and
developing such skills in their students. With this review paper we have tried
to project a reflection of importance which will showcase the need of the hour.
This paper will help in understanding the concept that if we think just a step
forward and implement these soft skills in pupil’s growing stage then it will
create a better society and a career as well. It will also help in rejuvenating
behavioural skills of current generation.
1. Introduction: -
The education system as well as the market
strategies are changing rapidly back when people with excellent academic
records with combination of good working experience were entreat by maximum of
the business institution but in present era cognitive capability and experience
are not satisfactory for the entrance and hike in the business world. At this
present time, only those candidates who are inventive and self-directed with excellent
communication Skills are employed and motivated by the employers. This is one
of the main reasons of less hiring by corporate. Despite of such great
importance of interpersonal skills, most of the schools/colleges/institutions
are unenthusiastic to introduce soft skills/interpersonal skills training in
the curriculum of their school/college. The academic structure in the present
era is changing by leaps and bonds. In this present scenario no matter how well
versed a person think he is with regards to the hard skills/technical skills he
will not be succeeded in the corporate world if you are unable to
interact/communicate with your teammate or clients. It is always experienced
that the faculty as well as the management of any institution/college stands
with a lengthy standing accusation against the newcomers that they lack soft
skills/interpersonal skills due to which they are unemployable. Talking about
the academic institutions, they refuse to take any responsibility and so the
entire onus goes over to the guardians to train soft skills in their wards. All
this fuss creates turmoil where each one tries to hold the other responsible
and, in the end, students are the ones who deteriorate.
2. Knowledge of soft skills in growing stage: -
What
does soft skill actually mean? This is a vexed question and need to shed light
on before we move further. The frequent changing approach regarding “what is
soft skill” is the reason behind why this question is burdensome to answer.
Sometimes people come across such situation under which one topic comes under
soft skills in one subject and on the same very side the same topic falls under
the category of hard skills in another subject. In addition to this commotion
soft skills differ from place to place, culture to culture region to region and
hierarchy to hierarchy. In this high-tech age, cultivating soft skill in
students can provide them an edge and case work as a support system in
achieving success in their professional lives.
2.2. Why should school have this responsibility?
Life
skills being overnice, includes the flourishing of personality and most of the
time acquired experientially as certain situations come across the growing
child. This is the need of the hour that various of the situation are ‘created’
in the school far the child so that he gets chance to learn these life skills.
This is important as school is the child’s second home.
Depending
upon the current scenario educational and training organizations must train
their students in such a way that they should be capable enough to face the
future market to stand as managers, entrepreneurs, leaders and many more. Here
are few soft skills students must hold today.[8]
2.2.1. Problem solving
the
skill of problem solving will help one in managing any circumstances that may
arise many difficulties. This skill strengthens one to withstand in any of the
situation and come up with its solution. Keeping the current situation in mind
one should work over his problem-solving skills as we are the part of an
unexpected world, where any kind of situation may turn into an adverse one.
This is the reason why students should be prepared to overcome circumstances
problems in their growing stage itself.
2.2.2. Innovative/creative thinking
We
always see students as the future of our society so it is very important that
they possess a creative approach in their every aspect of life. This creative
approach will help them in understanding the high society in a better way and
with that they may end up with such outcome that might provide the rest of the
society a new outlook.
2.2.3. Teamwork
Although
all the skills listed above or will be discussed further are important for
students to cultivate in their lives but with that, teamwork is one of the most
expected skill that every student must develop in themselves as it will help
them wherever they may go. The productivity standards can only be achieved by
working together in a team. The significance of unity is something that every
student must understand. To achieve a big task, it is important for people to
work together and with that many times they will have to comfort each other.
2.2.4. Decision making
Right
from the initial stage of the career students must acquire the capability to
make decisions within the provided time frame. By this they no longer be
dependent on others and can take their own stand in life. The people they
select as friends or the groups they get associated with also support them,
develop their personality. Even there, decision making plays important role.
2.2.5. Intrapersonal skills
The
intra personal skill is one of that skill upon which rest of all soft skills
are based, in other words we can say that intra personal skills are the master
skill because they deal in understanding oneself, one’s emotional intelligence,
strength, weakness, thought process, beliefs and one’s perception on things.
These skills help one in developing flexible nature and frame oneself into a
better leader with sufficient knowledge about oneself. A person with these
skills is World Journal of Advanced Research and Reviews, 2020, 08(03), 402–406
404 capable of taking his own stand on many decisions. These skills are also
important because once a person is able to understand himself than only, he can
corelate with other’s situation and can understand it in a better manner.
2.2.6. Interpersonal skills
Just
after acquiring capability of understand one. People start grasping the way of
others working. Skills that provide one the potential of understanding the
brain power and conduct of their co-workers/colleagues are termed as
interpersonal skills. Students from their initial stage of learning must
acquire this skill as it can help them working in a team. With these skills
they can learn other’s reaction over different situation by which they can
accordingly put forward their ideas and that will be their advantage.
2.2.7. Communication Skills
Sometimes
self-analysis is much easier than making others understand our perspective. The
communication skills are the one that holds the power to bridge the gap between
mankind. This is a principal skill that everyone should inculcate to
communicate. One should have the potential of dealing with all temperament
people whether argumentative or empathetic. This is a skill that everyone must
possess be it a student or a working professional. For students this may turn
very helpful if they manage to cultivate communication skills rightly at
correct time as it will be beneficial for them in all the sphere of life.
2.2.8. Leadership Skills
Every
student once in his life faces a phrase where he gets a chance to take an
important decision for himself/ herself. Whether they choose to be a follower
or a leader. These are the chances that may arise at any point in the form of
class election, representative selection, or student union election and that
will decide whom the majority wants and thinks can be a leader. With these
respective qualities of making wise and right decisions, harmonize with other
people, carry off an event trouble free can forefront as a leader. Leadership
is one of those important skills that every student may use further in their
career.
2.2.9. Positive Attitude
If we talk about today’s scenario where each
individual leads a hectic lifestyle which has all the way changed each person’s
approach into a negative factor. Keeping this in mind one should be capable of
acquiring place in others heart with positive approach. When we talk about
academics whether it be a student or a teacher each would want to get someone
with that approach which can drive educational year with positive attitude. For
the maintenance of friendly environment at any academic institutions, it
becomes the utmost responsibility of all the students to inculcate skill of
positive attitude in themselves. The surrounding in which students grow, plays
a very important role in deciding what kind of attitude they will develop. We
should make sure they receive an environment where they can develop positive
attitude. So, this responsibility of creating a positive atmosphere around to
the students where they get the chance to grow with positive approach lies over
the shoulder of parents and teachers.
2.2.10.
Listening
Skills
The
fact is if one wants to be a good speaker, he has to be a good listener first.
The art of listening lets a person express himself better in front of others
with that it also allows one to understand what the other person is trying to
say. For a student it is very much important to develop the art of listening in
themselves as active listening encourage sensible thinking that can help in
bringing down the anxiety and can even be helpful in de-stressing the students.
This skill should be the priority for every student and each one should possess
it as this can be very beneficial specially when one is trying to Chase his
dreams and want to flourish with bright future.

tough situation for them in future. To obtain any designation in some
organization we must have these soft skills. This implementation should be done
at school level first of all and for that teacher should be trained in this.
