In addition to many webinars and training sessions we promote each month on library topics I wanted to point out a resource available through the Pure Michigan Talent Connect web site providing a new eLearning Soft Skills Program. “The goal of this Lifelong Soft Skills eLearning series is to raise awareness among students and employees about key skills needed for workplace success”

 

Fourteen learning modules are provided on four broad soft skill areas including:

·        Critical Thinking

·        Communication

·        Collaboration

·        Creativity

 

You can find the eLearning modules here: http://www.mitalent.org/elearning-soft-skills-program/ and also linked on the Library of Michigan’s Continuing Education page.

 

If you have found other resources to help staff develop their own soft skills let us know so we can add them to our resource bank.
