CBTECH is entering the homestretch with our students, with February and March dedicated to preparing them for employment.
We kicked off this effort with a "Manners Meal," ensuring students feel confident if they are ever invited to a lunch or dinner as part of an interview. They learned proper table etiquette as well as general dining manners. Our goal is to prepare them for every possible scenario, so they never feel uncertain or unprepared.
During a recent Work Wednesday, State Trooper Bryan Villanueva with the Washington State Patrol spoke with our students about essential interview skills—how to prepare, what to do during the interview, and the importance of follow-up.
Over the next three Work Wednesdays, all of our seniors will have the opportunity to participate in at least one professional interview with an industry professional they have never met before. We have worked hard to prepare them, and feedback from interviewers has been overwhelmingly positive!
We encourage you to ask your students what they have learned!
