💡 Hot take from a Gen Z: Success isn’t just about tech skills anymore; it’s the human skills that really move the needle. Theo Vander Heyden's journey at the Public Transport Authority, perfectly illustrates this. Starting as a Student Rail Engineer through PTA’s award-winning Vacation Program in 2020, Theo grew through a structured graduate program that combined technical training with mentorship focused on essential interpersonal skills. This blend set Theo up to thrive in a people-centred role, proving that “soft skills” are anything but soft. Check out the article to see why building human skills matters now more than ever.
