Summary/Abstract: Industry, government and various professional organizations emphasize the need for the ICT graduates to be able to communicate in the global work environment. The elegant injection of ‘soft skills’ in the ICT curriculum is what differentiates good contemporary ICT programs. This paper presents a joint pilot work in this area between the New Bulgarian University (NBU) and the University of Western Sydney (UWS). This blended learning approach aims to develop broad knowledge and skills in social intelligence in the IT graduates, which will position them competitively in the rapidly transforming global market.
