Career Workshop Offers Skills Training
Sister Amaka announced her first Career Workshop with CV reviews, interview simulations, and soft skills training—only 12 spots available. The workshop addresses practical job search needs with hands-on training components. Applications are being accepted through a LinkedIn link, with the post generating 4 reposts and 289 views.
The global market for soft skills training reached $86.27 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow to $144.97 billion by 2035, reflecting a significant worldwide investment in these competencies. For individuals, the impact is tangible, as 63% of those who receive soft skills training report a positive effect on their job performance. Demand for career preparation is significant, with studies showing high demand for mock interviews (55%) and CV writing lessons (45%) among young people. Despite this, access to such training is limited; only 24% of students have participated in a mock interview, and just 44% have attended a CV writing workshop. Employers increasingly prioritize non-technical abilities, with 90% of large companies viewing soft skills as the most critical factor when assessing candidates. This trend is so pronounced that over two-thirds of employers report valuing soft skills more than a candidate's educational background. The focus on these skills is widespread, with soft skills mentioned in 78% of job postings globally. In the tech industry, 64% of recruiters consider soft skills more important than typically assumed, with critical thinking and the ability to work under pressure being highly sought after.
