Jobseekers can gain these skills in other ways too, without scaling a mountain or fording a stream Joining a sports team, doing some voluntary work, or helping run a community event are positive ways for students to show employers they are serious about gaining soft skills, learning new things and being a valuable member of a team. An Outward Bound course is a good option, and one that employers regard highly. The Competenz careers team regularly advises school students to take the initiative and seek out ways to build these soft skills. “Grit, confidence, communication, teamwork, leadership and planning go hand-in-hand with the technical skills we help build on-the-job at Competenz – like butchery skills in Kalolo’s case.” “Employers are looking for the soft skills Kalolo has gained on his Outward Bound course,” says Competenz National Careers Manager Joanne Verry. Completing an Outward Bound course was the “opportunity of a lifetime” for Competenz butchery apprentice Kalolo Fale, and the chance to build the ‘soft skills’ that employers in the 37 industries Competenz works with regularly tell us they value.
