continuous process of overall personal development. During the professional training of future 
specialists, the development of soft skills continues, while hard skills begin to form after entering a 
technical institution of higher education. The development of soft skills in technical institutions of 
higher education takes place with the help of humanitarian disciplines. A schematic representation 
and theoretical description of "Step by step" development of soft skills in future specialists of 
technical specialties is offered.

skills of future specialists in technical specialties, is considered. Approaches to the classification and 
types of modern pedagogical technologies, the experience of their application by foreign and 
domestic scientists are analyzed. Special attention is paid to the use of interactive learning 
technologies, information and communication technologies of learning, the use of elements of game 
methods and technologies, the project method as the most effective in the development of soft skills 
of future specialists in technical specialties.
