eLene4work orientation guide

Soft skills such as communication, teamwork, creativity and entrepreneurship are more and more in demand in today’s labour market and these competencies may prove to be the distinguishing factor between two candidates with equivalent qualifications and experience.

How can we measure these skills?
How can students and young workers demonstrate these skills on a CV or e-Portfolio?
What are today’s and tomorrow’s employers really looking for?

The eLene4work European project is tackling the definition of these soft skills, including digital soft skills, and proposes a series of actions and practical tools to help young talents better understand the expectations of employers, to assess their own level of competency and to further develop these skills through open education initiatives such as MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) and OERs (Open Educational Resources).

The project can be of great interest to students, young workers, teachers, careers’ advisors, human resources managers and employers in general. It is the fruit of over 10 years’ collaboration between members of the eLene group (eLearning network).

Target: students prior to entering the job market/young workers.
