There are virtually no soft skills to be had.
Last year, for example, I attended no courses at all! I attended the organization's talks where they blow trumpets about the latest study trip they went for, or the latest event they organized, that sort of thing, and these are counted as training hours.

This year, so far I only went for 1 course - effective report writing, and that was a global thing that all div 1s had to go for.... and I'm doing this 5 years into the job.

The only courses they're willing to send staff for are those grass cutting courses, 'fundamentals of grass science', 'fundamentals of irrigation', etc. They are deliberately trying to avoid sending staff for management courses because they don't see the value in giving these skills to people who are involved in grasscutting operation.

So how do I market myself when I don't have skills to market?
