When you're seeking employment, your soft skills can be as important as the technical skills that are required to achieve success on the job. Companies seek candidates with both types of skills when hiring for most positions. That's because if you can't get along with others, don't have a positive attitude, can't work well as part of a team, and aren't able to think creatively and critically, it may not matter how talented you are

Exuberant Club Services are the pioneering elements for inducing soft skills. Hence, SOFTA emphasizes more on its weekly Club Services (CSs). Club Services include various sessions focusing on current affairs, general aptitude, professional skills with a motto to help students to improve interpersonal skills. To increase team bonding various activities like Group Discussions, Debates, Presentations(JAM), etc. are conducted. Some icebreakers are also included such as quizzes, real-time bidding, extempore, etc. to add a new fun dimension to club services. To encourage the participation of students, Best performers are declared after every club service. Along with these, occasionally Guest sessions and experience sharing sessions are organized based on different topics like Higher education, Placement guidance, etc. through which students get the opportunity to interact with the seniors and alumni.

Even in the pandemic, SOFTA has been successfully arranging online club services using technological tools. These club services are not only important to the attendees but also to the organisers for upskilling and confidence building
