- Title
A Holistic Approach to Soft Skills Training.
- Authors
Anju, A.
- Abstract
This paper emphasizes the need for a change in the conceptualization of soft skills training as it is practiced today in finishing schools and subsequently proposes an alternative approach rooted in a deeper personal sense of the trainer. In this view, conventional recruitment components like Group Discussions (GDs) and interviews need to be redefined. They should be seen not merely as the process of elimination or acceptance of one's competence, but have a deeper meaning wherein a candidate displays his true inner potential. Aligning with this the author suggests a paradigm shift in the role of soft skill trainers both in the domains of personal comprehension and classroom instruction.
