 Personal Development
Course Description
● This course will cover some important soft skills and educate them the techniques through which our students will be able to
develop some of the most important soft skills in order to become a leader at every position and at any level of their
professional, personal and student life.

Course Goals
● For students who are already employed face problems on daily basis because they never realize the importance of soft skills.
Similarly fresh graduates complain that they perform well in the interview but never get success in that. Reason in both the
situations is same that is that organizations prefer to give employment or to promote those who have a very positive attitude,
emotionally intelligent, have team building skills and always ready to grab the opportunity to achieve the desired goals of
the team. Always ready to work for the company instead of achieving their personal goals. Always ready to work in any
environment any with people of different background.
● The goal of this course is to make our students aware of these great skills through which they could work in any
environment or with any kind of person.

Course Objectives
● The objective of this course is to make every student understand the importance of soft skills and what kind of soft skills are
required to be developed by the students to handle their everyday problems.
● Once our students are aware of the importance of different soft skills then through different techniques those skills will be
developed in the students to be an emotionally intelligent person and to become a leader instead of a manager.
● Development of soft skills in our students will enable them to stand out not only in the interview but also in their
 professional live due to their unique skills and unprecedented behavior.
