An essential workshop for any student 9th-12th grade
who needs to learn to communicate effectively
Communicating articulately and with confidence can make or break an admission or scholarship interview. Effective interviewing skills will also have an impact on future job or internship opportunities. This class will equip students to think on their feet, know what they want to say and help them say it in the right way.
This fun and interactive workshop will cover.....
- the importance of good communication skills, not just in the college admission and scholarship process, but in all areas of life (relationships, job searches, etc.)
- body language- posture, eye contact, hand shakes...all of the ways you send a message without even saying a word. We'll also cover what to wear to admissions and scholarship events
- how to answer questions articulately and thoughtfully, in a way that tells the other person you are mature and able to think critically
- word crutches and the importance of ditching them. We'll get rid of the "ums", "likes", "you knows" and other crutches that make someone sound indecisive and unconvincing.
-the most common interview questions for admissions and scholarships. Students will be given a chance to practice how they would answer those questions in an interview setting.
- We will also break into small groups and practice interviewing and providing constructive feedback to one another.
Location- All workshops currently scheduled will be held at the Scholarship Gold Education Center in Lake Wylie, SC (south of Charlotte, easily accessible from I-85 and i-77). Driving directions available via the link in the left column.

* Sometimes the class size dictates that we relocate to a slightly larger location, usually Good Samaritan Church across the street. Should that become necessary, all registrants will be notified well in advance.
