Soft skills, the interpersonal skills that demonstrate the ability to work with others, are essential for job attainment and advancement. However, as noted in current research and as echoed by employers, a significant soft skills gap exists in communication (oral and written), teamwork, and critical thinking that can prevent workers from advancing on the job. How can adult education professionals help students bridge this soft skills gap? Detailed in this article are teaching strategies and activities that can be used in both face-to-face and online adult education classes to develop the soft skills of communication, teamwork, and critical thinking. These skills can be taught in the context of any lesson; they do not need to be contextualized in workplace-related lessons. By integrating these instructional practices in the curriculum, adult education professionals can help adult students acquire the transferable skills essential to thriving in the workplace and moving forward in educational and community environments.
