This research focuses on soft skills practices; teaching and learning experiences in Hue Industrial College (HUEIC) from 2016 until 2020. The paper reports the results of a case study conducted in Vietnam as a part of EMVITET Erasmus+ capacity building project. Study data consist of feedback of college students (n=15), vocational and higher education teachers (n=20), and furthermore Vietnamese college students (n=130) who took part in an online survey. The results indicate that both students and teachers are willing to implement learning soft skills in practical activities in formal education context as well as outside of the classroom. The study recognizes the main required soft skill to be communication skills, however in the Vietnamese context IT application skills have a positive effect on students' online learning.
