A few months ago we organized a company training to help our team in refreshing their knowledge of Business Etiquette rules.
Kirsten, Come2England English teacher, gave us an intensive course explaining us the best tricks regarding professional communication focusing on the difficulties you might find when the language is not your mother tongue.
Knowing Kirsten we knew that it would turn out to be a useful and entertaining experience, but we couldn’t imagine how truth it was!
We were so satisfied with this workshop that we decided not only to include it as essential part of the Internship Package; but also to provide this service to all those young professionals who think they need a help with the formal language in an office environment.
“The most interesting, useful and funny way to learn Business Etiquette” that’s the common feedback our students gave us about the workshop.
Among them we have two girls who realized their internships in two different charities, Andrea (remember her from the architecture studio?), Leonardo -graphic designer in HWCD- and Jose, a Spanish boy who is looking for an internship in a renewable energies company.
They all gave us enthusiastic evaluations about the workshop saying that it was a very useful tool to integrate their previous professional knowledge and an essential part to prepare their presentation in a foreign company.
A necessary incentive to provide more confidence in an international and professional environment, this workshop wouldn't be so successful without Kirsten who is conquering our students with her friendly and funny attitude.
This is how Kirsten describes the workshop:
" Of course you know how to write an email or answer the phone. But do you know how to do this in a professional manner here in England and in English?
In this workshop you will learn how to be professional and efficient in an office environment. You will be confident to introduce people to each other in the correct way, deal efficiently with customers over the phone, write professional emails and letters and get to know the dos and don’ts in the office. This workshop is to get you into gear in a dynamic and fun way so that you can make the most of your internship. "
So what are you waiting for?
