Abstract

In today’s rapidly advancing digital society, driven by continuous technological progress, the job market increasingly demands individuals who are not only highly knowledgeable but also empathic, creative, and innovative Longmore et al. (2018). To respond these challenge Higher Educational Institutions (HEIs) should do their best to prepare students (future employees) to new job standards. And those soft skills could be developed only with the help of social and emotional learning (SEL) tools.
