Subject Terms:	Career development, Distance education, Soft skills, Digital technology, Information society
Abstract:	The modern requirements of the information society dictate an update on the work of educational institutions, in particular on the formation of soft skills among higher education applicants. The article aims to analyze educational trends and the role of soft skills for the professional development of future specialists in the conditions of distance learning. The article uses general scientific (analysis, synthesis) and special (abstraction, prediction) research methods. In general, it is noted that soft skills are important for career development, but it is difficult to measure them empirically. In European and American universities, the acquisition of soft skills has long been solved by additional classes and additional paid education, but since COVID-19 there are many digital platforms where you can learn them through distance education.
