Abstract
Universities have recognized the significance of including soft skills studies in their curricula in order to meet the demand of the labour market in terms of the most important employability skills. Institutions of higher education employ diverse practices of soft skills teaching. The present paper makes an attempt to explore the different approaches and practices of soft skills enhancement in higher education and identify the most efficient methods by examining the soft skills course offerings of some business universities. The research methodology included primary and secondary, quantitative and qualitative methods: besides conducting a survey with the guest lecturers of the International Week event of a French business university, the authors relied on the content analysis of university webpages and the topic-related literature. The research revealed that the majority of the universities examined offer comprehensive or single-skill courses integrated in their curricula, while others take the embedded approach, which involves the practice of improving soft skills through diverse activities included in the syllabi of field specific courses.
