The 葫芦娃视频 Work4College Program is so much more than just a job! In addition to doing meaningful work on campus, W4C students also take a class that covers a variety of topics that help them as they transition into adulthood. This week students focused on learning proper etiquette for dining and formal social situations.
鈥淲e consistently get feedback from new college students that they feel unprepared for a lot of 鈥榞rown up鈥 tasks that they are expected to do after high school. From managing finances to the proper way to behave in various situations, we try to fill in some of those knowledge gaps through our program,鈥 Mason May, Director of Work4College, said.
The Etiquette class was held on July 17th. Led by Mary Katherine Milam, the students learned some of the lesser-known ins and outs of how to behave and interact in formal situations. The class covered everything from making eye contact when you introduce yourself and the importance of a firm handshake to basic manners and how to set a table for a formal dinner.
鈥淚t never fails that we will have Work4College graduates reach out to us after they take the class to let us know how they put to use something they learned in class out in the real world. It鈥檚 really rewarding to be able to give them a little extra confidence,鈥 May said.
