Essential soft skills training and credentialing
The new Florida Soft Skills solution features highly interactive digital training focused on in-demand employability skills including conveying professionalism, communicating effectively, teamwork and collaboration, and thinking critically and solving problems.
Each fully narrated module includes a pre-test, career contextualized direct instruction, and a post-test to measure learning gains. Embedded practice and decision tree activities engage learners and reinforce understanding of concepts. Employers share in their own words why soft skills matter. Scripted scenario-based videos demonstrate the 'worst' and 'best' responses to relatable workplace situations.
The online training is self-paced and accessible from any digital device anywhere anytime. The training is also easily integrated as a classroom, lab or extension activity. For staff-assisted or classroom-based implementation, companion whole group activities, individual practice, and culminating capstone project are offered to further advance skill development.
A one-hour, online proctored assessment validates mastery of skills. Those who pass the assessment earn the Florida Soft Skills Credential which is issued by the State of Florida and signed by the Governor.
