Research study showed that most of the populations doesn't believe a handicapped person should work.
Whenthey asked disable people ifthey thought they were disabled
20% dud not consider themselves diabled or at least doesn't want to be considered that way.
Handicapped people see employement ranks high as an element that defines a person as Successful.
Researchers tried to define soft skills so that they could finda specific remedy
can teach a skill but not a personality trait
Looked for a zone of control

4 domains what they can control under their environment
Critical Thinkin skills:

time management
common sense
work ethic:
being present on the job
being trustworthiy
having a commitment to work
being able to self supervise
Collaboration:
teamwork and communication skills are critical
Social rapport:
skills relation to emotional projection
how you are controlling your emotions
and how you are receiving them
Hard skill:
If you want to cut a tree you have to learn to chop
If you want to build a website you need to know html, you need to type,
For these you need to do something so that you can be taught
Soft skills are a large set of interrelated skills that allow people to work effectively.
These are not character traits. These are skills that can be learned if we design the right curriculum.
These factors can all be combined to give the individual the ability to lead what they defined as a successful life.
Three of the skills can be observed and can therefore be taught.
However critical thinking skills can't be seen so this can be only seen through social interaction.
