Tertiary institutions would do well to offer soft skills to their students if they are to succeed in the business world or in entrepreneurship. Speaking at the Kabete Campus of the University of Nairobi, on 18th September 2024, Dr. George Wachiuri noted that there are many facets to becoming successful including personal decisions to change and capacity to learn.
