Students work part-time and soft skills during COVID-19 pandemics

Abstract

Students must not only focus on the technical side, but also enhance their soft skills. A student working part-time can improve his soft skills without being absent from the online course. The online classroom can record, what is beneficial for the student to playback if they understand less during the class. This situation indicates that, students working part-time can attend the class in their place of work and, if they know less, can play a record. However, soft skills should be taught on campus in practice, but cannot do it because of COVID-19. Soft skills can be acquired throughout part-time work because it is not distracting the online classroom. This shows that the benefit of part-time student work is can increase their soft skills and employability.
