Soft Skills and Positive Attitude : Science of Bridging Gap

Abstract

Soft skills are those essential traits and expertise that must be acquired by every person to be successful in life. These abilities, traits or skills are also most popularly called people’s skills and in recent times, also known as twenty first century skills. It is proven that the hard skills or the academic or professional qualifications maybe an inevitable component of any kind of employment or job placement but the success of a person depends upon the soft skills he has. Research has shown that attitude of the pupils and development or enhancement of these skills is correlated. The attitude is different in each individual and therefore the real life application of these skills is also varied. The study undertaken endeavours to find out the correlation between the positive attitude and negative attitude of the students towards soft skills and the real life application of it.
