Addressing the Soft Skills Gap

Employers are increasingly facing challenges in finding candidates who possess the essential soft skills necessary to thrive in today’s fast-paced work environment. A recent report from McKinsey highlights that while technical skills are important, the demand for social and emotional competencies—such as communication and collaboration—continues to grow as artificial intelligence transforms the workplace​. However, many employers struggle to find talent that can effectively navigate complex interpersonal dynamics, work in teams, and think critically under pressure​.

A solution to this challenge lies in connecting with college peer tutors, who are already developing these critical skills. Peer tutors gain valuable experience in communication, leadership, and teamwork by educating and mentoring their fellow students. This hands-on learning environment enables them to refine soft skills that make them highly effective in professional settings. Given the growing demand for such abilities, peer tutors offer a pool of motivated, career-ready candidates who are equipped to contribute meaningfully to any organization.
