Problem-solving, collaboration, communication, and digital literacy are key competencies for the workforce of the future. The spread of advanced technologies and the demand for adaptability in rapidly evolving professional and personal contexts necessitate a substantial rethinking of training practices. Educators and trainers are therefore challenged to redesign learning systems that can address these emerging needs. This study investigates innovative training strategies, with a focus on the role of Educational Robotics in strengthening soft skills among young professionals. In particular, it examines how a robotics-based educational model contributes to the development of essential soft skills. We implemented Skill-UP!, a structured workshop that included two training approaches: (1) Traditional Training, relying on established methods for soft skill acquisition, and (2) Robotic Training, which utilized LEGO Spike Prime educational robots to provide an experiential, hands-on learning experience. A within-subject experimental design was employed, with quantitative analysis comparing the effects of both modalities on skill development in young adults. To complement this, qualitative data from open-ended responses were thematically analyzed to capture participants' perspectives and experiences. Results show that both training formats effectively improved communication abilities. However, Traditional Training was more effective in building confidence in problem-solving and strategic thinking, while Robotic Training strongly enhanced teamwork, engagement, and overall satisfaction. Moreover, interacting with educational robots fostered positive attitudes toward technology, encouraging creativity and enjoyment. These findings highlight the value of Educational Robotics as a powerful tool for skill development and advocate for its wider integration in preparing an agile, adaptable future workforce.
