Soft Skills in the News
The Soft Skills "Debate" is over
The rapid infusion of AI into almost every aspect of our working world, from health care to manufacturing to design, has resurfaced an old debate about which skills we’ll really need for the workforce of the future. If automation can power an assembly line, complete patient intake, and draft social media posts, what kind of jobs should we be training the next generation to do, and what skills will they need to perform them? What are the skills that are “inherently human” that we need to be doubling down on?
Why Human-Centric Abilities Remain Vital
AI’s Rise Calls for Strong Soft Skills
June 20, 2023
Soft skills refer to interpersonal skills or a set of personal qualities and attributes that enable individuals to effectively communicate, adapt, collaborate, and interact with others in various settings. These skills in today’s AI dominated era are increasingly valued by employers and are considered essential for success in the workplace. Despite the growing recognition of the importance of soft skills, many education institutions have been quite slow to integrate them into their curricula.

ABOUT US
Soft Skills AHA was created by the American Hospitality Academy (AHA). Since 1986, the American Hospitality Academy, in partnership with premier resorts and hotels throughout the USA, has been the bridge between colleges and industry, providing career-focused curriculum and structured training plans for thousands of students and young adults. It is through our close working relationship with top industry leaders that AHA has developed an appreciation and clear understanding of how to best teach the 21st Century soft skills that are vital to success in any career.
In 2005, in partnership with the American Hotel and Lodging Association, AHA created the first college internship manual SERVLEAD – Service Leadership in a multicultural workplace. Our SERVLEAD manual provided professional development and leadership course work, training competencies, and an industry certification to students who successfully completed our program.
In 2009 AHA was licensed as a non public postsecondary institution by the South Carolina Commission on Higher Education. Our professional development programs are designed to meet the focus of companies around the world who “hire for attitude and train for aptitude.” Our engaging career readiness curriculum and positive online learning environment emphasizes the essential employability traits needed to be successful both in the workplace and in life. AHA is now bringing our 30+ years of successful workplace internship preparation on the college level to Soft Skills AHA in order to help prepare students for workplace success.
