SPECIFIC FEATURES OF THE DEVELOPMENT AND APPLICATION OF SOFT SKILLS AS A COMPONENT OF COMPETITIVENESS OF FUTURE MANAGERS

Abstract

The current conditions for the development of young professionals pose challenges: the COVID-19 quarantine and Russia's invasion of Ukraine have led to the spread of distance learning, affecting the development of soft skills. Despite the resumption of classroom teaching, issues like poor communication, inability to present or argue opinions, and problems working in teams persist. However, these can be addressed using modern technologies and teaching methods. This study aims to analyze the impact of interactive teaching methods on developing soft skills among university students. Soft skills are crucial for future managers' careers. The article examines the peculiarities of developing and applying soft skills as key to the competitiveness of future managers in the Ukrainian context, integrating innovative educational practices. Emphasizing the importance of interactive learning tools, the study highlights their relevance for preparing future managers for modern labor market challenges, applicable in both online and offline settings.
