Improving soft skills for the 21st century in career counseling: Transfer of V4 experience

Original language description

This monograph emphasizes the significance of career counseling and the development of specific soft skills among university students within the context of a rapidly evolving society and labor market. The research is being conducted in cooperation with four universities, three of which are from the Visegrad Four countries: the University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice (USB), the Slovak University of Agriculture in Nitra (SUA), Budapest Business University (BBU), and Armenian National Agrarian University (ANAU). The primary objective of the monograph is to evaluate the significance of career counseling and the development of selected soft skills in students from the four named universities. A questionnaire survey of 616 students provides several important insights: Students consider the development of soft skills to be a key factor in success in the labor market and identify a particular need for support in the areas of self-management and well-being. At the same time, they appreciate the activities of Career Centers but see room for improvement through individual counseling, workshops, and close links with practice. The monograph offers recommendations for improving the services of Career Centers and educational institutions that support the systematic development of soft skills and prepare students for their professional careers. The results and recommendations serve as a valuable source of inspiration for academic institutions, career counselors, and other entities focused on supporting the personal and professional development of students.
