Abstract

Directorate of Academic and Directorate of Institutional, Directorate-General of Higher Education 
has launched Soft Skills Developing Program awarded on a competitive basis to the circle of 
higher education. In this period of intense competition, the development of hard skills should be in 
line with that of soft skills in higher education as an institution that turns out steadfast and excellent 
human resources. To instill soft skills needs some exemplars, ranging from university leaders, 
lecturers, and supporting staffs as the front liners who have direct contacts with students. If 
students are accustomed to be treated well and respected, sooner or later they will be good servants 
in society. This is meant by a simple transmission. The alternative transmissions of soft skills, 
among others, are through 1) teaching method called Student Centre Learning (SCL) implemented 
in teaching process by three ways, namely, Lecture role model, Message of the week, and Hidden 
curriculum; 2) Student Extracurricular Activity Units covering spirituality, art, sports, and so on. 
As the domain of emotional quotient, soft skills have an important role in entrepreneurial spirit. 
Entrepreneurial spirit has nothing to do with academic intelligence, with the skill to get the job done 
perfectly, but entrepreneurial spirit is a dynamic spirit to turn a challenge into an opportunity.

Key words: soft skills, education, entrepreneurship.
