The Role of Soft skills in Enhancing Employability and Sustaining Long-Term Career Success

Abstract

In today’s dynamic academic and professional landscape, soft skills have emerged as critical determinants of success alongside technical expertise. This study investigates the importance of soft skills—such as communication, teamwork, adaptability, and emotional intelligence—in enhancing employability and fostering long-term career growth among university students. Through a mixed-methods approach that integrates literature analysis and a structured survey conducted on undergraduate students, the research highlights both the perceived value of soft skills and the challenges faced in their development.
