Pills of competencies

The soft skills are individual characteristics that are necessary to achieve effective work performance. These competences can be activated in any job that requires them, and they can involve achievement, relational or cognitive dimensions, such as: achievement orientation, initiative, adaptability, empathy, leadership, conflict management, persuasion, group management, self-awareness, self-control, pattern recognition, system thinking, oral communication, etc.

Through Pills of Competencies, the participants will be able to:

• understand the importance of some soft skills to improve their performance;
• be aware of how much they demonstrate these competencies;
• understand how these competencies are related to effective behaviors;
• implement strategies to develop these competencies.

Pills of Competencies are made up of interactive seminars, aimed at making each participant quickly improve his / her level of possession of the competencies.

In addition, Pills of Competencies is the natural complement to other initiatives aimed at the development of soft skills organized by the Ca 'Foscari Competency Centre, such as the Competency Labs and the course Emotional Competencies and Personal Development, which can be attended in addition to the participation of Pills of Competencies.

Pills of Competencies is an initiative realized by the Ca’ Foscari Competency Centre in collaboration with UMANA.
