You’ve heard of the technical skills gap, but a related, critical challenge hasn’t always received adequate attention: the life skills, or soft skills, gap. Many young workers are simply not meeting employers’ expectations when it comes to effective communication, conflict resolution, or problem-solving. Research indicates youth can overestimate their preparedness.

PTS offers a proven solution that prepares youth to be punctual and responsible, manage anger and conflict, think critically and creatively, and more.
