The role of post-disaster needs assessment cadres (PDNA) as a driver in motivating, assisting, and providing solutions for family resilience is increasingly needed during the pandemic. The purpose of this activity is to improve the technical skills of parenting trainers as they help families utilize social media-based smart parenting programs and increase cadre awareness in designing training according to the needs of family members. The method used to achieve this goal is the Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) approach. In the implementation stage of the service program, training activities to improve the soft skills and hard skills of cadres as parenting trainers were carried out through online and offline learning. The results of this activity revealed that the Ibu Bakoh Keluarga Kokoh training increased the motivation of PDNA administrators to contribute in solving parenting problems for members, increased the shared understanding of parenting skills, taught parents the role of social media as a psychoeducational parenting media and increased the confidence and skills of the parenting trainers.

Engineer Education

In today’s higher education, the development of competencies based on the needs of the labour market, the role of practical training and the application of student-centred teaching methods are becoming more and more important. A particularly important question in engineering education is which abilities and skills are important for an engineer in a rapidly changing, information-based society. Therefore, in addition to hard skills, the development of soft skills also plays an important role. Our research was aimed at mapping the competencies of engineering informatics students and determining development opportunities. The Hungarian version of the Big Five Questionnaire (BFQ) was used to examine the students’ personalities. The results of the research showed that the students’ soft skills must be developed – especially in the areas of openness, communication and cooperation. Students’ personality development can be facilitated by courses that focus on self-knowledge and self-esteem, as well as opportunities for cooperation, adaptation, building trust, empathy, and helpfulness. Cooperative methods, collaborative learning, the project method and problem-based learning can also play an important role in higher education.

New Evidence

Increasing awareness of the productive potential of soft skills has sparked a discussion of their systematic and purposeful development. However, education systems pay only limited attention to this topic in most countries and remain focused on the development of hard skills. Is this approach rational or inadequate? This article provides new evidence on different aspects of the wage returns to soft skills (as an approximation of their productivity), and thereby contributes significantly to the discussion of the role of educational institutions in their development. It provides evidence that soft skills are as productive as hard skills. Moreover, it suggests that the productivity of hard skills stems from their combination with soft skills. These conclusions do not correspond to the fact that the value of education is intermediated mainly by hard skills, resulting in unequal development of soft and hard skills in schools. While concluding that education systems should pay more attention to soft skills development, the analysis recognises that this attention should be differentiated according to employers’ needs, owing to substantial differences in the value of soft skills across economic sectors. It is also noteworthy that while significant gender differences in returns to hard skills were identified, wage returns to soft skills appear gender neutral. JEL Codes: J24, J31, J71

Low proficient learners from Arts and Science Colleges find it difficult to get reasonable jobs because they lack employability skills. This is an attempt to analyze the role of technology in the development of employability skills particularly English vocabulary in the low proficient learners of Arts and Science College. 20 students from 3 different departments were given assignments to be done using 3 online tools. Assessment has been made to find out some difference in training the low proficient learners from Arts and Science. The result shows a tremendous change in attitude in learning vocabulary in the low proficient learners from Arts and Science. English vocabulary can be. The soft skills syllabus prescribed can be enriched and made more interesting especially for the low proficient learners with the addition of the online tool ‘Memrise” for learning vocabulary.

Post Disaster

In post-disaster recovery, optimising psychosocial support is important for all groups of the population, yet young adults have tended to be overlooked as a demographic in their own right. Research was conducted to seek the perspectives of young adults through the narrative of their experiences in the years following the 2009 Gippsland bushfires. One emergent theme in the findings highlighted the importance of information and communication during and after events. Participants in this research sought information and support via social media and virtual communities. These sites traverse localised, place-based solutions, enabling young people to communicate over large geographical areas. The platforms aid dynamic and rapidly evolving support by sharing information, feelings and ideas. This research also highlighted the need to identify the gaps in information processes and support systems for young adults and to ensure youth-specific information is included in formal communications. Possible solutions are outlined taking into consideration the perspectives offered by the study participants.

This chapter addresses post-9/11 emergency preparedness, which has been a point of scrutiny regarding the effectiveness and efficiency of response systems, the role of ICT, and how these methods affect first responders and the socially vulnerable, as well as infrastructure concerns stemming from natural and person-caused disasters. The main objective of this chapter is to describe the ongoing solutions that must be incorporated in terms of information and ICT preparation, social media communications, Community Response Grid (CRG), and social networking. The authors propose new programs that must continuously be explored with a variety of partners to assure that programs and policies for the socially marginalized are mitigated. Finally, the authors explore ways to augment the emergency learning curve through using the cooperation of government so funding and policies are in place to prevent infrastructure weakness, pre- and post-disaster, and to protect the lives and well-being of the citizenry.
