Soft Skills: Qualifications More Targeted By the Users of Hospital Administration Vocational Studies Graduates
Abstract
The classic problem in education that is still accurate to be debated is the lack of relevance of education to the world of work. As if, the world of education and the world of work runs on different track directions. Education desperately creates hard skills for its graduates, meanwhile, the world of work is working hard to prepare the workforce it wants in separate training. Finally, education seemed to fill the students with high-level hard skills, while the working world shouted ”That’s not the main thing for us...” because our hard skills can be trained while the characters we are looking for. This article reveals that the soft-skills qualification is at the top of the list as the qualification expected by the world of work for the graduates of the Hospital Studies Program. Respondents were the HR Manager of 22 private hospitals in Depok who were interviewed with questionnaires in April 2017.
Keywords: hard skills, soft skills, qualifications
