Next to the professional knowledge of practice and theory communicated in school and the company of course it´s necessary to build out the social skills for the occupational future.

 

Soft Skills are in the focus of the employer. These skills are not more important than in the past but hard to find in young peoples life today. The verbal skills for example got lost because of less interest in reading books or news in the tv are just watched half way.
