Abstract
This research aims to examine the effectiveness of a guidance program designed to enhance university students' awareness of the importance of acquiring soft skills for the job market and their impact on digital entrepreneurship. The program was developed with the goal of measuring significant changes in participants' responses. The research utilized several tools, including a general data form, a soft skills questionnaire, a digital entrepreneurship questionnaire, and the guidance program itself. The primary sample consisted of 369 university students randomly selected from various faculties. Specifically, every fifth student was chosen from the enrollment lists of the Faculty of Specific Education, Physical Education, Early Childhood Education, Commerce, Science, and Engineering. Additionally, an experimental sample of 22 students was deliberately selected from the Faculty of Physical Education, focusing on those in the lowest quartile of the primary sample. The study employed descriptive-analytical and experimental methodologies. After data collection, the information was tabulated and statistically analyzed using SPSS version 22. The results indicated significant differences in the average scores of the experimental group regarding the importance of acquiring soft skills before and after the implementation of the guidance program. The effect size was found to be 92% and 91% respectively, highlighting the program's impact. The study recommends preparing and developing a diverse range of guidance and educational programs aimed at university students to enhance their awareness of soft skills and digital leadership across all electronic platforms.
