ATTEND A KHK LEADERSHIP WORKSHOP
KHK is proud to present a series of Leadership Workshops for 2021. This series of workshops was created for two reasons: 1.) to support our youth volunteers in the development of their leadership skills and 2.) to address a concern identified by several Fortune 500 companies. In a recent study by Bloomberg Next and Workday, "more than 40 percent of corporations and almost 50 percent of academic institutions said new hires lack the soft skills to perform at a high level in a professional environment. The top four soft skills that companies and academics say are needed include teamwork, analytical reasoning, complex problem-solving, and adaptability. Just 35 percent of corporations feel new recruits and students are well prepared with both hard and soft skills.”
