I. Project Proposal.
Soft skills are crucial in determining an individual's success, particularly in the highly
competitive learning and job world of today. Understanding the significance of this, we offer the
project "Soft skills development workshop for students" to provide students with the
fundamental soft skills they need to succeed in life and face challenges head-on.
accomplishment.
The session will concentrate on developing participants' communication, teamwork, time
management, problem-solving, and critical thinking abilities. Based on what the students really
need for study and job, these subjects have been chosen.
Theory and practice are combined in the workshop's innovative teaching methods.
Students will participate in games, discussions, group projects, and presentations led by seasoned
educators with a focus on soft skills.
Students who attend the "Developing Soft Skills for Students" workshop will benefit from:
Increase understanding of the value of soft skills.
Gain the soft skills required for both job and study success.
Boost self-assurance and clear communication.
Boost your capacity for cooperation and teamwork.
Develop your critical thinking and problem-solving abilities.
I think that the project "Soft skills development workshop for students" will help create
an effective learning and working environment, assisting students in developing
comprehensively and succeeding in the future, with benefits that are both practical and highly
effective.
4
of today's work and learning environments means that soft skills are essential for students
to succeed in both their personal and professional lives.
Soft skill development receives less attention in traditional educational programs, which
frequently concentrate on teaching theoretical knowledge. This makes it difficult for
pupils to communicate effectively, collaborate well in groups, or come up with flexible
solutions to challenges.
Therefore, setting up this workshop is a significant step toward giving students a real-
world opportunity to acquire and practice the soft skills they will need. In addition to
serving as a venue for information transfer, the conference offers students a dynamic and
engaged atmosphere in which to put what they have learned into practice.
2.3 Extent.
The three primary objectives of the project "Soft Skills Development Workshop for
Students" are to: increase awareness of the value of soft skills; impart information and
practical skills; and establish a setting where students may interact, learn, and practice.
Through a variety of workshop activities, including group games, talks, and small-group
discussions, this goal will be accomplished. Despite the workshop's narrow emphasis, we
will concentrate on a few fundamental soft skills that students must acquire in the modern
world. This guarantees the project will be as successful as possible.

Techniques for monitoring advancement:
A project progress monitoring sheet that is updated on a regular basis will be utilized to
monitor the project's progress. Furthermore, there will be regular briefings to provide updates on
the status and quickly address any concerns that may arise.
2.5 Materials:
Suggest optimizing resource utilization and looking for extra resources to guarantee the
project is carried out efficiently and effectively:
Human resources: You should plan on using a project team consisting of five people: the
project team leader, the person in charge of managing the budget, the person in charge of
enrollment and promotion, the person in charge of facilities and equipment, and the person in
charge of event planning. About $2000 is expected to be spent on human resources for this
project, including compensation and incidental expenses for things like stationery and cell
phones.
Finances: The project is expected to cost $5,000 in total. Of which, $2,000 is set aside for
expenses related to human resources, $1,000 for marketing and enrollment efforts, $1,000 for
buildings and equipment, and $1,000 for unforeseen and contingency expenses.
Equipment and facilities: A $1000 estimate is made for these items. This covers the price
of renting a location, as well as the cost of projectors, lighting, sound system, and other
conference-related necessities.
Promotion and Recruitment: $1000 is the estimated cost of the promotional and
recruitment efforts. To get students interested in the event, this money will be used to print fliers,
posters, and advertisements on social media.
2.6 Budget.
Suggest cautious budget management and look for extra funds to guarantee the project is
carried out successfully and stays within the allocated budget:
Total projected budget: Suggest a $5,000 total for the project's duration. This sum should
be adequate to cover all required expenses and guarantee the project's success.
Details of the budget: The budget will be broken down into distinct sections for each of
the project's three components—human resources, buildings and equipment, and enrollment and
promotion—as mentioned above.
Extra financing Sources: Look for extra financing options from nearby companies,
charitable groups, or government funding initiatives in addition to school money. This lessens
the project's financial load and increases the opportunities for its implementation.
6
Flexible Contingency Plan: To be able to react flexibly to various scenarios, we should
think about having a variety of flexible contingency plans rather than just one fixed one.
Integrate Risk Management Throughout the Process: Risk management should be
continually integrated throughout the project's execution, not merely as a component of
the project charter. The creation of processes to continuously assess and manage risk, as
well as the dedication of the entire project team, are necessary for this.
2.9 Approval.
It is necessary to modify the Project Charter approval procedure to guarantee adaptability
and effectiveness in winning over stakeholders. There are various ways to make changes for this
item:
Increased Diversity of Approvers: To guarantee representation and openness in the
decision-making process, think about forming an approval team in place of a single
approver.
Online Approval Process: By utilizing technology to establish an online approval process,
time and expenses can be cut while also improving flexibility in reaching consensus and
negotiating viewpoints across all stakeholders. connect with.
Give stakeholders time to examine and provide comments before making a final choice
by providing flexible approval deadlines. Stakeholder satisfaction is raised and delays are
reduced as a result.
2.10 Conclude.
The soft skills workshop project for students at FTU University was built in an organized
and detailed manner from the initial goals to the approval process. Defining the goals, scope, and
implementers, along with providing a project management plan and approval documents, created
a solid foundation for project success. By applying SWOT analysis, Delphi and brainstorming
methods, the project identified and assessed potential risks and developed appropriate
contingency plans. A careful and diverse communications plan will also help increase
7
engagement and interest from students and stakeholders. Clear approval procedures and set
deadlines guarantee agreement from pertinent parties prior to project implementation. To put it
briefly, meticulous planning and careful consideration of every detail will contribute to the
creation of an event that is both successful and significant for the business community and
student body.

The ideal moment for the same cost is 40 days before cutting, as the ideal time frame
without reduction is 40 days, which is less than the anticipated 15 days.
13
To provide redundancy for key operations, think about dampening (extending) some
non-critical path activities. And to generate a reserve for the action "Media planning &
promotion" (on the critical path), for instance, extend the time for the activity "Design & print
documents" (which is not on the critical path).
Notes when compressing and damping:
To evaluate the projected time and risk of each task, think about utilizing the PERT tool.
Activities that are not vital, high risk, or reliant on the results of other activities should be
the main focus of compression/damping.
5.4 In conclusion.
planning efficient compression/damping and concentrating resources on the most crucial tasks
are made possible by analyzing AOA charts and key routes. To guarantee that the project is
finished on schedule and with the appropriate quality, it is vital to take into account cutting down
on time and reducing risks.
14
It is impossible to settle financial problems, and project viability cannot be assured.
The course is no longer appealing due to shifts in consumer demand.
Applying Qualitative Methods: Chart of Probability and Consequences:
By integrating the likelihood that each event will occur with its related consequence, the
probability-consequence matrix aids in determining the degree of project risk. This aids
in assessing the degree of risk and setting priorities for risk-reduction measures.
6.5 Conclude:
Processes like risk analysis and risk mitigation strategy formulation are crucial to the
"Soft Skills Workshop" project's success. Utilizing both qualitative and quantitative
methods, as well as debating and formulating suitable plans, improves the capacity to
manage unforeseen circumstances and guarantees the advancement and caliber of
projects.
VII. Conclude
I finished a number of crucial tasks to define, plan, and assess project risks as part of our
group project preparation for a soft skills training.
First and foremost, we selected a project whose objective was to provide students with a
soft skills training in order to improve their educational and personal growth. I
established a thorough grasp of the project's goals, scope, timeline, and expected budget
in order to create a comprehensive project memorandum.
To guarantee project success, we have specifically noted possible risk factors and
suggested risk-reduction techniques. I have identified potential hazards, ascertained their
likelihood and impact, and consequently suggested suitable preventive and remedial
actions using risk analysis.
In the end, i created a thorough project schedule that included Gantt charts, activity time
sheets, PERT methodologies, activity prioritization charts, and project advancement
milestones. I was able to guarantee that the project would be finished on schedule and
within budget by putting these procedures into practice and developing a thorough and
manageable project plan.
All things considered, the process of preparing the group project gave me the chance to
learn efficient project management and risk-reduction techniques as well as a thorough
grasp of the project's requirements and goals. This is a crucial component in making sure
the "Soft Skills Workshop" project succeeds in the future.
