Soft Skills training is the need of the hour. A lot of money is spent on acquiring hard skills but we over look the soft skills. Students add more and more degrees to their resume but when it comes to qualifying the interview very few gets selected. Whats the reason ? They lack proper communication skills. These candidates are not able to communicate their message to the interviewer hence they get dis qualified. We at Attitude School has addressed this problem at the ground level and have come up with a curriculum to suit the needs of today's job seeker.
