Abstract
In the recent past, it was considered that a qualified specialist should have a set of professional skills corresponding to his specialization. But the ongoing processes of modernization, globalization and digitalization of society have led to a completely different situation: the success of an employee is determined not only by his qualifications in a specific professional activity, but also requires the development of other qualities called soft-skills. The demand for mobile and flexible workers who can easily adapt and adapt to the market system is growing year by year. However, many young professionals face the problem of a lack or insufficient elaboration of flexible skills, which makes it difficult to successfully move up the career ladder. In this regard, when implementing the educational process at the university, special attention should be paid to the development of not only professional, but also soft-skills that will help graduates quickly adapt to the profession. The demand for soft-skills has actualized the search for optimal and most effective ways to develop these skills for professional activity.
The analysis of the results of the empirical study made it possible to determine the current level of formation of students' soft-skills. The subject of the study was such softskills as communication, teamwork, critical thinking, creativity, and emotional intelligence.
