- Abstract
The main ingredients for a nation’s development are high-quality human resources. Not only do they have excellent technical skills, but also excellent soft skills. The value of soft skills in the growth of the knowledge-based economy is being increasingly recognized in modern society. Communication skills, self-management, innovation, and/or creativity are important soft skills, among others, necessary to be able to respond to the workplace. Higher education is therefore committed to the challenges of giving the students all the necessary soft skills. This study uses a mixed technique and a case study to describe the approach to developing soft skills in higher education. The results are used to inform the development of the most crucial soft skills for ITB graduates. All of this is based on the fact that graduates must have a balance between soft skills and hard skills that will be useful for their lives when they enter society.
