This is a great article about what the Maker movement can offer to businesses in terms of not only applicable tech skills but also and especially a "maker mindset" that includes design sensibilities, creative problem-solving, and perseverance.  These are the "soft" and "hard" skills that we actively promote through our design and tinkering program.  The article mentions tools and strategies that we currently use with students: 3D printers, Arduinos, design thinking (empathize, define, ideate, prototype, test), hands-on experimentation, and recycled fashion.
