Therefore, everyone should master the secrets of communication. Summarizing the skill categories, hard skills define the level of knowledge, while soft skills outline character traits and interpersonal relationship. Thus, patience, empathy and teamwork rank people as a desired candidate and lead them to a successful professional path. But how can these aspired soft skills be amplified? Indeed, education plays a decisive role. Education leads young people to professional accomplishment. However, education should be accustomed to the needs of the students. In this regard, the innovative way of teaching, through the outward mind-set, wants to transform the relationship with students, having a beneficial long-term impact on their motivation. Through an outward mind-set, students will be able to harmoniously develop their soft skills. … Based on this, the research paper analyses and evaluates how the outward mind-set contributes to the development of these skills, so that they provide a competitive position on the labour market. The analysis will facilitate both the understanding of the outward mindset in education and the difference between hard and soft skills.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessOutward mind-setsoft skillslabour marketConference Object2020
