Millennium Fellowship Project: Soft Skill Development Advocacy
The Soft Skill Development Advocacy program is a project targeted at youth, most especially undergraduate students, on how they can effectively improve their soft skill development to negotiate the kind of reality they desire. These skills include communication skills, problem-solving skills, and critical thinking skills, among other human skills. The project tends to provide the right mentorship and capacity-building which serves as a guide for undergraduates on how they can project themselves and their ideas in order to get the right recognition they deserve within society. Secondly, it further enhances their professional development, as they can maximize their moment within the professional space, building their employability status and having the ability to harness opportunity within a world with a highly demanding skill set for employability.
