Machine learning (ML) algorithms are predictively competitive algorithms with many humanimpact applications. However, the issue of long execution time remains unsolved in the literature for high-dimensional spaces. This study proposes combining ML algorithms with an efficient methodology known as the barycentric correction procedure (BCP) to address this issue. This study uses synthetic data and an educational dataset from a private university to show the benefits of the proposed method. It was found that this combination provides significant benefits related to time in synthetic and real data without losing accuracy when the number of instances and dimensions increases. Additionally, for high-dimensional spaces, it was proved that BCP and linear support vector classification (LinearSVC), after an estimated feature map for the gaussian radial basis function (RBF) kernel, were unfeasible in terms of computational time and accuracy.

“…Over the years even though different conceptual frameworks for understanding 21st Century Skills have been used, there are some skills that are a constant part of this definition and they are: creativity, critical thinking, problem solving, communication, collaboration, information and process management, effective use of technology, career and life skills, and cultural awareness (Beers, 2011, cited in Cansoy, 2018). An OECD (2019) report and other studies (Feraco et al, 2022;Ferreira & Robertson, 2022;Ramos et al, 2023) stress how socio-emotional and cognitive skills like critical thinking and empathy, for example, will become key skills for the future while more technical skills will evolve. General findings in relation to studies on 21st Century skills will be discussed in the literature review section, with a particular focus on observations relevant to each of the partner countries in the project.…”

This paper presents the results of the project “21st Century Skills: Changing the Approach to Teaching in Higher Education”, which was funded by the Erasmus+ programme between 2019 and 2021. The study involved seven institutions coming from different parts of Europe; mainly these were universities, but there was also one not-for-profit organisation, and one SME. Past and present-day initiatives and studies relating to the development of soft and digital skills among university students are investigated, with particular regard being paid to their perspective when they first have to face the job market. The study design is threefold, involving firstly desk research, where major documents were collected in Bulgaria, Spain, Turkey, Czech Republic, and Italy; then market research, where a sample of corporate professionals and university representatives were interviewed in order to gather additional information relating to the level of development of these skills among young graduates and employees; and lastly, a comparison between two questionnaires filled in by students before and after completing the courses established by the project. Research stages one and two are briefly introduced, with the main focus of the paper being on stage three and a discussion in which the results from various European countries are compared. The results reveal that some European countries prioritise some skills more than others. In addition, in the examined countries, it can be seen that 21st Century Skills are still not widely developed by young graduates and there is a mismatch between the value attributed to the improvement of competencies and the actual content of training provided by European universities. In summary, employers and academics have provided key information relating to the most needed skills in the market today. In addition, they have testified that attention should be paid to university projects, such as internship programmes and advanced English courses in order to better prepare young people for the marketplace. Furthermore, students should be more involved in activities aimed at improving their level of 21st Century Skills, with courses specifically designed to address this need and make them more aware of their current skill level and the abilities they are expected to have. Currently, these courses are rarely organised by Higher Education institutions and even when they are, they are not always effective.

The post-Covid-19 pandemic period is uncertain because the pandemic hampers the running of business processes in almost all sectors due to the decline in market demand, production, and profits that occur in the company, so the CEO must optimize soft skills, interpersonal skills, and hard skills to survive in the company. This study aims to find out the soft skills and interpersonal skills that CEOs guide to exist in the post-Covid-19 pandemic period. This qualitative research investigates the CEO’s soft skills and interpersonal abilities for company existence in the post-Covid-19 pandemic era. Data were collected by interviewing the CEOs of PT Andal Software and PT Ikapunija Silver Expert, conducting documentation studies, and searching on trusted internet websites. Next, the data were analyzed qualitatively: data reduction, presentation, and conclusion. The results of the study were soft skills guided by CEOs to exist in the post-pandemic period, such as leadership, strategic management system, effective communication, technical skills, good culture, and faith. Meanwhile, interpersonal skills developed include utilizing words such as please, sorry, ladies and gentlemen, as well as optimizing questions and discussions with employees and consumers. Keywords: soft skill, interpersonal skill, company, post-Covid-19 pandemic
