Free Soft Skills Management Training Opportunity

Dundee College, through a European Social Funded (ESF) project called Skills for Scotland, is delighted to offer private sector businesses in Tayside the opportunity to develop their staff and their business FREE OF CHARGE.

The Skills for Scotland initiative focuses on personal development through practical interactive activities and reflective practice. This will involve individuals in gaining a greater understanding of themselves and their team with a view to enhancing performance.

The course will be delivered over 5 days and is tutor led.

One of the benefits of the programme is that it allows each participant to evaluate and review their own soft skills, and subsequently, identify the ones they feel they would like to develop further. The development of these identified soft skills is done via a project at work which commences after the course. Each participant identifies skills that will help to develop their self awareness, interpersonal and task management skills. The tutor continues to offer support and help them to set personal targets and support throughout the project via email or face to face if required.

Successful candidates will be entered for a nationally recognised award and at the end of the course encouraged to continue with their learning by achieving goals which will be documented on their own individual Personal Learning Plan (PLP).
