For the past 25 years, employers have said that graduates are lacking the essential soft skills to enter the workforce. Findings by the Stanford Research Institute International and the Carnegie Mellon Foundation found that 75% of long-term job success depends upon soft skills mastery and only 25% of technical skills. According to LinkedIn’s “Workplace Learning Report,” soft skills are the No. 1 priority for talent development. 

Further, a LinkedIn study found that hiring managers indicated their company’s productivity was limited due to a lack of candidates’ soft skills. Ed Turose has taught these essential soft skills as a manager and trainer within the Coca-Cola Company, Acosta Sales and Marketing, colleges, universities, junior/senior high schools and social service organizations. Get equipped in the soft skills that will prepare you for the workforce and provide the skills that will produce advancement in your career path!
