Цель исследования – изучить знания студентов о мягких навыках и ответить на вопросы понимают ли студенты что такое софт скиллс и знают ли их виды, где приобретаются софт скиллс. Определить какие софт скиллс необходимы для трудоустройства, по мнению студентов.

Методология исследования заключалась в проведении анкетирования среди студентов бакалавра вузов Республики Казахстан. Всего приняло участие 215 студентов из 9 вузов Казахстана. На основе проведенного литературного обзора были определены основные сферы формирования мягких навыков – это семья, школа и вузы. Для проведения анализа ответов студентов применялась SPSS программное обеспечение и Excel. Анализ был также проведен в гендерном разрезе.

Оригинальность / ценность исследования – трудоустройство студентов, напрямую зависит от их профессиональных и мягких навыков, поэтому важно знать какими мягкими навыками обладает нынешний студент казахстанского ВУЗа.

Результаты исследования – показали, что такие навыки как Ответственность и Вежливость непрерывно развиваются в студентах, которые более усиленно прививаются в семье и в дальнейшем развиваются в образовательной среде. Тем не менее, в школе все навыки развивались и приобретались менее активно чем в вузе. Студенты имеют общее представление о важности мягких навыков при трудоустройстве. В таких целях было рекомендовано проведение более подробного разбора о приобретаемых навыка студентами при прохождении определенных дисциплин.

SPSS software and Excel were used to analyze student responses. The analysis was also carried out in terms of gender.

Originality / value of the research – the employment of students, directly depends on their professional and soft skills; therefore, it is important to know what soft skills students of Kazakhstan universities have.

Research results – showed that Responsibility and Politeness are continuously developed in students, which are more intensively established in the family and further developed more actively in universities, than at schools. The main results of the study showed that students have a general understanding of the importance of SSin employment.
