Take 5 minutes to reflect on the soft skills you would prioritize for developing with your apprentices from disadvantaged backgrounds or with fewer opportunities. Consider the following:
Think about skills such as communication, emotional intelligence, adaptability, teamwork, leadership, and problem-solving.
Reflect on practical strategies and activities you could implement, such as role-playing exercises, group discussions, feedback sessions, and mentorship.
By identifying the key soft skills and planning targeted activities, you can create a supportive environment that helps apprentices build these essential abilities, enabling them to thrive and succeed in the workplace.
