General aim of the subject: Achieving the set goals is essential to obtain proper knowledge. There is a difference between the so-called “hard skills” and “soft skills”.. Hard skills are professional skills, while soft skills are the personal skills that are obviously much more difficult to measure or prove, like a degree or carrier advancement.
