Soft skills are considered fundamental according to the World Economic Forum (WEF). Business leaders must possess a combination of technical skills and soft skills to successfully manage the complex challenges of the working environment. Therefore, the Soft Skills Lab is aimed at personal growth, allowing students to develop cross-cutting skills through practical activities structured to enable effective customization of the educational path with the support and guidance of our staff.
