Why Soft Skills Matter w/ Dr. Corey Olse...

THE HR GAZETTE
About this episode

According to the Stanford Research Institute and Carnegie Mellon Foundation, 75% of long-term job success relies on people skills, not technical expertise.

In this HRchat episode, we'll consider courses that help participants master the foundational skills needed to succeed as leaders in the future world of work. 

Our guest this time is Dr. Corey Olsen, Founder and President of Signum University, a distance education graduate school open to students from around the world.

Concerned about the skills gap common to so many people in the workplace, Dr. Olsen established Signum Path, a training program with courses that help participants master foundational skills that are needed in any job in any industry.

If you want to learn more about the Signum Path Program and how they work with HR professionals to help improve employee foundational skills, email them at path@signumuniversity.org





We do our best to ensure editorial objectivity. The views and ideas shared by our guests and sponsors are entirely independent of The HR Gazette, HRchat Podcast and Iceni Media Inc.
