Essential Skills for Success
Essential Skills for Success
Young professionals are enthusiastic assets to employers but often are missing essential skills to ensure success in the workplace. Employers are already stretched thin on time meeting other business operations. They lack the time to devote to young professional training. I provide young professionals essential skill training for success in the workplace to yield valuable benefits to both the professional and the employer.
Adding value
Often during summer internships or in early career entry level positions, young professionals bring new ideas to companies but often lack understanding to achieving success in the workplace. They are well educated from university, but lack the day to day know-how. College teaches accounting, statistics, and other fundamental skills such as writing and presenting. Rarely is “how-to-negotiate-a-raise” or “where-to-push-back-on-a-job-offer” found on a syllabus. Furthermore, there is no course to teach the individual how they fit into a company’s objectives. When an intern gives his or her end of summer presentation, there is a critical window to convey competence and show value. So often such an opportunity is missed. Young professionals want a full time offer following an internship or a promotion following their initial role, but are unable to communicate effectively to busy employers who are trying to meet business objectives. Learn how young professionals can Crush Your Internship.
Employers who employ young professionals and interns are investing in the future workforce. But the time required to develop a training program and present it to young professionals is not something most employees have in abundance. The mentor relationship between an intern and an employee is key to the company yielding useful results from the young professional during their short time in the role. Watch our free webinar on Intern Onboarding Success for employers for detailed information on the value add through this program.
Simple plan + proven results
After mentoring interns over the last thirteen years, I understand the desire to achieve as a young professional as well as the demands on an employee with an already full workload.

Over the years, I’ve been compiling hours of concise and effective materials targeted to bridge the gap between university teaching and employer’s needs. During a ten week training period, young professionals learn and practice the tools to return value to the hiring company. In turn, the employer gains a developing youth who understands how to applies the learnings directly to their specific intern project or role. The training materials I provide are applicable to any professional setting across industries to effectively deliver value to both employees and young professionals.
