“Soft skills refers to a broad set of skills, competencies, behaviors, attitudes, and personal qualities that enable people to effectively navigate their environment, work well with others, perform well, and achieve their goals. These skills are broadly applicable and complement other skills such as technical, vocational, business and academic skills. Soft skills include the following components: social skills, communication skills, higher-order thinking such as problem-solving and decision-making, self-control, and positive self-concept.
Y.E.S. captures an innovative interactive hands-on approach to soft skills development for young adults through Empowerment, Apprenticeship, Life Coaching and Career and Business Guidance with community leaders and subject matter experts.

There are many definitions of soft skills and multiple approaches to teaching and measuring them in the 21st century for our future leaders.
