Good communication skills for students aren’t optional anymore, They’re essential. Whether students are getting ready for college, starting their first job, or building relationships, being able to speak clearly and confidently is key to success.
“If you just communicate, you can get by. But if you communicate skillfully, you can work miracles.” – Jim Rohn, Author and Speaker
Gone are the days when academic scores alone could secure a bright future. According to a 2023 survey by the National Association of Colleges and Employers, 73.4% of employers rank communication skills of students as the most desired quality in candidates. Communication is ranked as the third most sought-after skill, just after leadership and teamwork abilities. That’s where the EdPlus Program by Edcosmo steps in. With practical, hands-on learning and expert-led sessions, EdPlus helps students build good communication skills that truly prepare them for life after school.
But most schools don’t really teach real-world communication. Students may earn their degrees, but many still struggle when it’s time to speak up, give presentations, or lead with confidence. That’s why the EdPlus Program is not just another academic add-on. It’s a focused platform that boosts communication skills and personality development with a blend of life-based learning, peer interaction, and real-world podcast experiences.
The Need for Good Communication Skills
Good communication skills matter everywhere, not just in exams. Here’s why they are so important for students after school:
√ In College: Students need to work on group projects, give presentations, and build networks. To do this well, they must know how to share their ideas clearly and confidently.
√ In Job Interviews: Companies don’t just look for skills. They hire people who can speak well, explain their thoughts, and have confidence.
√ In Life: Good communication helps students build trust, solve problems, and become strong leaders in both personal and professional situations.
Dr. Albert Mehrabian’s research shows that:
√ 55% of communication comes from body language (how you stand, your gestures, facial expressions)
√ 38% comes from your tone of voice (how you sound, your energy)
√ Only 7% comes from the actual words you say
This means students need more than just knowing what to say. They need soft skills like confidence, listening, body language, and emotional awareness to truly connect with people in different situations. Strong communication builds self-confidence, improves decision-making, and helps handle difficult situations.
EdPlus Program:
The EdPlus Program equips students with the skills and confidence to communicate effectively. Throughout the program, students learn and practice a number of essential communication skills, including:
Clarity & Articulation: Expressing ideas clearly and avoiding filler words.
Non-Verbal Communication: Using body language, tone, and facial expressions effectively.
Voice Modulation & Expression: Using tone, pace, and emphasis to make speech impactful.
Active Listening: Understanding others and responding thoughtfully.
Active Participation in Group Settings : Contributing confidently in group discussions.
Key Highlights of the Program:
- Interactive Learning Activities: Students’ communication skills are honed by engaging them in diverse situations, such as speaking before an audience, and engaging in meaningful one-on-one and group conversations.
- Powerful Communication Techniques: They learn techniques like the AAA and the 1-2-3 technique to structure their thoughts into clear, impactful points.
- The Art of Giving Presentations: Students learn how to design and deliver effective presentations and communicate ideas logically and clearly.
- Preparing Students for Interviews: Students are trained to face interviews with confidence and learn how to introduce themselves effectively and develop the ability to think impromptu.
- Podcast-Based Learning Experience: The program culminates in an unscripted interview with experts. This podcast experience gives them a platform to be effective communicators and face the camera with confidence.
