In today's business world, soft skills are equally important. They have the power to develop your career in the same way that technical skills and talent can. But what exactly are soft skills? And why are they so important for your career? Why does Brainster Next College's accredited Software Engineering and Innovation curriculum include the subject Professional Skills?

What is taught in this subject?

The curriculum is prepared with one goal in mind, to bring the greatest value to students both while studying and when they join a company. They will start with internships in the first year, so for that purpose the subject is included very early in the program itself in the first year and in the first block of the semester.
Students learn organizational communication and how to communicate effectively, from writing emails, to keeping an agenda and M.O.M. in meetings. Then they work on presentations and pitches. We also learn emotional intelligence and dealing with failure, Growth VS Fixed Mindset, time management, setting priorities and effective learning. Teamwork, conflict and negotiations and of course leadership.
