About CeSS

The Centre for Soft Skills (CeSS) at Kaduna State University is dedicated to equipping students, staff, and the wider community with essential skills for success in today’s fast-changing world.
While academic knowledge is critical, it is soft skills—the interpersonal, cognitive, and professional attributes—that set individuals apart in the workplace and in life.

Established to bridge the gap between technical knowledge and employability, CeSS offers training, research, and development programs that help individuals thrive in academic, professional, and personal contexts.

Our Mission

To develop confident, adaptable, and emotionally intelligent individuals through quality training, mentorship, and research in soft skills development.

Our Vision

To be a leading centre of excellence in soft skills education in Africa, producing graduates and professionals who excel in communication, leadership, and global citizenship.

Core Objectives

– Enhance employability and career readiness among KASU students and graduates

– Foster leadership, teamwork, and problem-solving abilities

– Improve communication, emotional intelligence, and interpersonal skills

– Promote critical thinking, creativity, and innovation

Why Soft Skills Matter

In today’s knowledge-driven economy, employers seek more than technical expertise—they want graduates who can lead teams, solve complex problems, and adapt to change.
Soft skills complement academic qualifications and are the key to career success and lifelong learning.
