Advancing Technical Education and Fostering Soft Skills Development through Digital Learning

Abstract

Digital learning provides a diverse array of interactive and immersive experiences that captivate students and equip them with soft skills and knowledge. China's focus on soft skills development within technical education has fostered an environment that encourages students to pursue their own ideas, start businesses, and contribute to the soft skills development. Efforts have been made to enhance the attractiveness and status of technical education through scholarships, incentives, and reducing societal stigma. However, challenges such as updating curriculum and teaching methods to meet emerging industry demands and further enhancing the image of technical education remain. This paper explores the potential and obstacles involved in integrating digital learning into technical education for soft skills development. Embracing digital learning in technical education can foster a soft skills development environment that fosters innovation, empowering students with the essential skills and mindset required to excel in the digital age and contribute to soft skills development.
