“I have always heard about soft skills but had little understanding of what it entails until I had my first opportunity which was a sponsored training with OPL Academy. As a beginner, I learnt about values, the workplace, Communications, Emotional Intelligence and employability skills… A big thank you to OPL Academy for this opportunity…”
