Help Inculcate SOFT SKILLS for Women

Skills Needed: Personality development/English Speaking

Accomodation: No Accomodation provided

About the Project

The women are given Vocational Training in different areas such as sewing, designing, beauty parlor, Nursing, Jewellery design etc. This helps them become self-sustainable but this is not enough. Hard skills aren’t necessarily hard to acquire. They can be easily taught and can be learned and perfected over time. Soft skills are more challenging to develop, since they have little to do with knowledge or expertise, but are closely linked with a person’s character. It takes conscious effort, ongoing practice, and a commitment to self-development to improve your soft skills. The problem is, the importance of these soft skills is often undervalued, and there is far less training provided for them than hard skills. The Volunteer can use fun, hands-on activities, exercises, games and interactive sessions that will ensure the participants are fully engaged. The volunteer gets hands-on experience in terms of leadership, training and people management.
