The article presents the problem of forming the managerial competence of specialists in the field of human security. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of the concepts of "competence", "managerial competence," social competence ", the content of the concepts of" soft skills "," hard skills ". The set of basic knowledge necessary for the development of “soft skills” in forming the managerial competence of future specialists in the field of human security is analyzed. On the basis of the analysis of the psychological and pedagogical literature, it is determined that the structure of managerial competence is a complex integrated dynamic formation, containing worldview, technological, cognitive, psychological, personal, professional and proper management aspects. The essential characteristics of the competencies of the modern leader are presented: strategic, social, functional, managerial, communicative, professional. Soft skills include leadership skills, teamwork skills, teaching skills, negotiating skills, conflict resolution, goal setting and achievement goals, time management of personal and subordinate time, purposefulness, presentation skills, public speaking effective communication skills, stress resistance, creativity and more. The assumption is made that the presence of the listed skills and competences forms the “social competence” of the future manager. It is determined that social competence, along with strategic, functional, managerial, communicative and professional, is one of the defining competency characteristics of the manager, and its essential features give grounds for defining it as basic in the formation of the managerial competence of human security professionals. It is proved that the quality and efficiency of management activities of specialists in the field of human security depend on the degree of mastery of "social competence" and so-called "flexible competencies".

The article is dedicated to the analysis of a student’s role as a partner in educational process. It is grounded that sense of modern crisis in education emerged from deep contradiction between traditionally formed, essentially conservative paradigm of educational process and explosive improvement of life conditions in modern society. It is underlined that recognition of a student as a partner, as an equal participant of a dialogue becomes meaningful within system of higher education. Consideration of a student as a partner in the context of project education is underlined by taking into account other’s subject position. It becomes «technically necessary» under conditions of emerging digital civilization to convert basic knowledge into effective learning as well as to program formation of such competences, necessary for a graduating student to solve professional tasks creatively. Adjustment of educational paradigm actually forming «soft skills» primarily enables shift of education processes from traditional subject-object “stuffing students up” with information to subject-subject “students’ self-education management”; students have their research, organizational and creative (in emotional, artistic and intellectual creativity forms) tasks. Such format of educational process organization is already used and known in educational field as project education, which forms valuable cross-functional skills. The offered project education can be a form of partner approach in subject-subject educational cooperation. Considering a student as a partner, a teacher motivates both increasing of hard skills and development of soft skills.

The Corporate sector has witnessed a drastic change in the last few decades around the world and India is no exception to it. Ever since the proliferation of globalization, inter-state business has grown up like never before. Consequently, multinational companies are gradually taking over the local businesses, which created a paradigm shift in the recruitment processes of companies to meet the demands of the job market. Earlier, people used to get recruited merely on the basis of their job-specific skills called Hard Skills. Today, employers need candidates who can communicate well in English as this language serves as the lingua franca, i.e. a common language of communication among employees of different regional and linguistic backgrounds. Moreover, particular preference is given to the candidates who possess certain necessary skills in addition to hard skills such as communication skill, time management, leadership, adaptability, team work and so on. These skills are known as soft skills. Thus, young job aspirants who can speak fluently and intelligibly in English and possess soft skills get an edge not only during the recruitment process but also during the job. In the above-discussed context, this paper attempts to carry out a critical analysis of teaching General Indian English and soft skills for generating employability among Indian job. To test the same an activity-based study was conducted with a group of 20 undergraduate students which consisted of pre-training and a post-training test. The analysis of the results showed positive changes in students’ attitudes and confidence after they undergo soft skills activities as well as spoken English lessons in General Indian English. Thus, this study suggests the integration of a paper on GIE and soft skills across all disciplines at undergraduate level or a short course on the same.
