Background:
Tutors at Matapuna Training Centre (MTC) identified that supporting students to develop their soft skill capabilities had the potential to contribute to improved student achievement outcomes.
The project identified a set of soft skill descriptors that Matapuna staff know students need to develop in order to achieve at NZQA level 1 and 2, captured a group of students’ development in soft skills over time, and examined the links between soft skill development and successful student achievement outcomes.
