In an experience-based role, how can I upgrade myself to futureproof career since there are no specific skills involved only experience counts? Skillsfuture is very technical, or hard skills-based. Where can I learn soft skills?

For example, in an operations role, what counts is experience and soft skills. Any advice?

Answer from our guest!

Felicia: Yes, more than half of the courses on SkillsFuture are very technical, but if you really look into a specific soft skill, you would still be able to find them on SkillsFuture. Don't limit yourself to just the SkillsFuture courses - you could attend trainings or workshops from professional trainers and some of them are even available online. If you would like to improve your soft skills, you should also start personally too. Read up, learn and start practising. I would recommend learning from practitioners who have past experience on these soft skills - that is the fastest and best way for you to learn. If you want to accelerate your learning, get someone experienced to mentor and coach you.
