What is Soft-Skills

Chapter 3
Education and Technology Support for Children and Young Adults With ASD and Learning Disabilities
Soft skills are a term for a complex system of traits and habits commonly required by employers. They are the abilities and traits that pertain to an individual’s behavior rather than the technical knowledge (Moss & Tilly, 2001). Some examples of soft skills can include integrity, taking another’s perspective, daily pleasantries, the ability to compromise and communicate effectively, and collaboration within a group.
