This study was conducted to assess the current situation regarding the impact of soft skills on the employability of graduates of the Economics- University of Economics- Technology for Industries (Uneti). In order to have the most comprehensive and objective view of the level of understanding of soft skills of Uneti's students, the research team conducted a survey among classes 12 and 13 and employers. As a result of the survey, the number of votes collected was 1,177, of which 45 came from employers (from a business perspective) and 1,132 from former students in classes 12 and 13. On the basis of analyzing the current situation and identifying the causes, the research team has proposed recommendations to improve the quality of soft skills training for students majoring in economics at Uneti, including helping students orient themselves to their learning goals, constantly training to accumulate the necessary knowledge and skills to meet the requirements of the job, and improving the quality of human resources.
