This study aims to investigate and provide an understanding of the attitudes of employers and employees alike towards soft skills training. It also aims to increase the number of micro and small enterprises who carry out soft skills training for the right reasons. The grounded theory research design was used for this study, whereby secondary and primary data gathered used techniques to provide research findings that are grounded in theory. The findings therefore provide insight into trends, opinions, beliefs, and attitudes towards soft skills training, and put forward suggestions for employers and employees through a highly theoretically sensitive research study.
