Төртінші өнеркәсіптік революция еңбек нарығының өзгеруіне айтарлықтай әсер етеді - мамандықтар, жұмысқа деген көзқарастар өзгереді. Бүгінгі таңда компанияның жетістігі оның қызметкерлерінің технологияны, ең алдымен оны шығармашылық және жаңашылдықпен қолдана алу қабілетіне байланысты. Бұл мақалада компания қызметкерлерінің жаңа индустриялық революцияның әсерін қалай сезінетіні, бизнестің цифрлық трансформациялану жағдайында бейімделу үшін қандай дағдылар қажет екендігі, компаниядағы технологиялық қайта құруға дайын сызықтық кеңсе қызметкерлері және оларда қажетті дағдылары қаншалықты бар екендігі талданады. Жалпы дағдылардың ішінде адамның ерекше қабілеттеріне, эмоционалды интеллектке, шығармашылыққа, сыпайылыққа және т.б. қажеттілік артады деген тұжырым жасалды. Техникалық білімнің маңыздылығы артып келеді: бағдарламалық қамтамасыз етумен, бағдарламалаумен, жалпы цифрлық сауаттылықпен тиімді жұмыс істеу мүмкіндігі. Егер «жұмсақ» дағдылардың шартты бөлігі бүгінгі күні қызметкерлер арасында жеткілікті деңгейде дамыған болса, онда техникалық қабілеттер алаңдатады. Жалпы алғанда, сәтті және бәсекеге қабілетті жұмыс күшін құру үшін компаниялар екі бағытта әрекет етуі керек - нарықтың қажеттіліктеріне сәйкес дағдылар мен білім жүйесін қалыптастыру, сонымен қатар «өмір бойы білім алу» идеяларын, яғни үздіксіз өздігінен білім алуды насихаттау. The fourth industrial revolution has a significant impact on the transformation of the labor market - changing professions, approaches to work. Today, the success of a company depends on the ability of its employees to use technology, first of all, to do it creatively and innovatively. This article analyzes how staffs of companies feel the impact of the new industrial revolution, what skills are needed to adapt in the context of digital business transformation, are linear office workers ready for technological transformations in companies, and do they have the necessary skills. It is concluded that among the general skills there will grow a need for uniquely human abilities, such as emotional intelligence, creativity, sociability, etc. The importance of technical knowledge is growing: the ability to work effectively with software, programming, general digital literacy. If the conditional part of “soft” skills is developed among staffs at a sufficient level today, then technical abilities are of concern. In general, in order to create a successful and competitive workforce, companies need to act in two directions - to form training and monitoring systems of skills and knowledge in accordance with the needs of the market, as well as to promote the ideas of "lifelong learning", that is, continuously independent selfeducation.

In this study, we assessed student soft-skills after a 36-month long community service program in a Philippine private higher education institution. The Soft Skills-Graduate Attribute Scale was developed to measure professional competence, critical thinking skills, communication skills, lifelong learning, social and ethical responsibility, productivity, and interpersonal skills. Sixty (60) marine engineering students were purposively selected based on their participation in the various community service activities. The result shows that students who regularly volunteered have significantly higher measures of graduate attributes relating to professional competence, communication skills, and social and ethical responsibility as compared to non-regular and first-time volunteers. This study underscores the value of service learning programs in higher education in improving soft skills as well as the cross-cultural competencies of students in highly technical fields.
