In today’s competitive job market, academic knowledge alone is no longer enough. Employers are increasingly valuing candidates with strong soft skills—communication, teamwork, adaptability, problem-solving, and emotional intelligence. At the Southern Academy of Higher Education (SAHE), we recognize this shift and are committed to helping students not only gain qualifications but also grow into well-rounded professionals.
The Rise of Soft Skills in the Modern Workplace
Recent studies show that nearly 93% of employers consider soft skills essential when making hiring decisions. These abilities often make the difference between two equally qualified candidates. While technical knowledge gets your foot in the door, soft skills help you grow, lead, and thrive in your career.

At SAHE, we believe in holistic education—one that prepares students for real-world success. Whether you’re studying Accounting, Hospitality, or Information Systems through our Bachelor of Business program, you’ll be encouraged to actively develop vital soft skills through:
-
Group projects and presentations to enhance teamwork and public speaking

Soft Skills = Global Readiness
