When Soft Skills are Vital Skills in the Workplace

 As reported in the March 4, 2013 Academic Impressions: Daily Pulse (http://www.academicimpressions.com/daily-pulse), a recent survey by The Chronicle of Higher Education and American Public Media's Market place found that half of employers have trouble finding graduates who are qualified to fill positions in their company.  In particular, " they feel that bachelor's-degree holders lack basic workplace proficiencies, like adaptability, communication skills, and the ability to solve complex problems" (emphasis added).

A recent student graduate from Oak Hills Christian College testified that at Oak Hills, "I learned to think for myself." Students learn how to think, and not just what to think. As a private Christian and non-denominational college, Oak Hills is committed to building educational experiences where students grow in their critical thinking skills, communication skills, and understanding of principles for service. Employers attest to the quality of persons they see in Oak Hills graduates.

Oak Hills Adult & Professional Studies and online programs continues the tradition at Oak Hills of commitment to the personal and professional growth of students.  Exploration of issues from a biblical perspective, dialog, and skill development are all in focus in online programs.  This commitment to the whole person is one reason why a private Christian college education just makes plain good sense.
