BEYOND THE CLASSROOM: The Real-World Skills Employers Expect
Fun. Practical. Interactive.
Landing a job takes more than submitting an application. This hands-on workshop teaches the professional skills employers expect but are rarely taught in the classroom. Learn how to apply for jobs professionally, make strong first impressions, communicate with confidence, and understand workplace expectations that can help you succeed from day one.

Topics include:

  • Applying for jobs professionally
  • Completing job applications accurately
  • Following up after submitting an application
  • Making a great first impression through introductions, body language, and handshakes
  • Communicating professionally in person, by phone, and by email
  • Understanding workplace expectations
  • Building a professional reputation
  • Before You Get the Job
  • Your First Days on the Job
  • Workplace Etiquette

Whether you're looking for your first job, an internship, or your next opportunity, this workshop will help you build the confidence and skills to stand out as a professional.
