Professional Business Savvy
Ages 18-22

Program 1: Professional Business Savvy

Program 2: Professional Dining Savvy

Welcome to Professional Business Savvy,

There’s a new business twist for the twenty-first century: Good Manners. In the past few years, increasing attention has been given to “business niceties,” those little things denoting class and style. In fact, manners have become as integral to your professional image as your technical knowledge. Young professionals and savvy executives are scrambling to acquire this new form of professional polish. Not only does it make for a nice work environment, but it pays off in promotions and raises. Every young professional should realize that good business etiquette is a power tool that gives one the cutting edge in the business arena.

Spurred on by global competition, companies look increasingly to those men and women who possess soft skills. Soft skills include introducing clients and making them comfortable, understanding and respecting precedence, or selecting the right fork at a six-course dinner.

You might be thinking, “The company doesn’t care if I know which fork to use at dinner. All they care about is whether I do a good job, right?” Wrong. Class – how to get it and how to use it – is the hot topic in corporations worldwide. And it’s something that top management keeps in mind when promoting employees to key positions – particularly those positions involving interaction with persons outside the company. Management is especially mindful about employee interaction with international clients.
