This course is interactive using group discussions, activities, and challenges to explore a range of topics including professional greetings, first impressions, appearance, communication, teamwork, problem solving, punctuality and so much more!
Skills Training:
This course is designed to teach people the hard skills needed in the workplace. This will teach the process of applying and interviewing for a job, following routines, quality and speed of tasks given, and so much more!
