The GST BOCES Wildwood Campus was busy this past week as it welcomed 43 professionals for their Seniors Workforce Readiness Phase 2 event. In conjunction with the Career Development Council, and the wonderful Wildwood team we launched this new program.
This Professional Readiness event is a workshop to enhance our students interview and communication skills. We are focused on professionalism and that all important “First Impression.” In Phase 1 - the students worked on their career research and resumes.
Now in Phase 2 - Our presenters will join with the educators to continue enhancing the student’s business communication skills. Meeting professionals from outside the campus is a critical step in building self-confidence and self-awareness. The past two years there was less opportunity to engage in face-to-face communication. Increasing our student skills in; How to shake someone’s hand, How to make eye contact, How to introduce themselves and How to start and have a conversation with someone they just met is an important step. And must have skills in the workforce.
In Phase 3 - we will continue to work with our Seniors on resumes and interviewing development.
