Making "Soft Skills" Relevant In The Eyes of The Students: Co-Creating Solutions To Bridge The Gap

"Soft skills" are undervalued by students, in particular business students. Whether this is due to a lack of perspective or direct application to school work and career goals, students approach "soft skills" as if they are common sense. While they might be common sense, they are not common practice. Through co-creation, this roundtable aims to generate implementable ideas for how to make this skill set more appealing and relevant to students. Our goal is to support one another in bridging this knowledge-practice gap to enhance learning in the classroom and beyond.
