Manners are not inherent; they are skills to be learned.
Last Wednesday, the Business Protocol and Ethics class held a business luncheon in the staff dining room at noon. It was up to the students to use what they had learned to plan the entire event. They were responsible for setting up decorations and selecting the lunch menu. The luncheon featured special guests Ann Hovey, the Dean of Business and instructors, Alan McAllister and Candy Cantrell.
"We were able to put our skills to practical use," said student James Castañeda.
Starting off the luncheon was a receiving line in which students introduced themselves to the guests. The luncheon participants were then given the chance to mingle while hors d'vours and beverages were served.
During the lunch portion, students and guests demonstrated the dining skills they will use to impress future employers and colleagues.
This business luncheon was the final project of this nine week course.
In the business world, manners can make or break a person's career. The class, Business Protocol and Ethics (OT 70), helps students perfect skills needed for business.
"The class teaches social skills to get the edge in business," said Jackie Sanborn, the class instructor. "It shows students how to presentthemselves in the business world."
In this small class of 24, students learn skills such as the proper way to make an introduction and table protocol needed during business-related meals.
"The two hours are really fun and [Jackie Sanborn] treats us like adults," said Business Protocol student Kendra Maestas.
For interested students, this nine week course of Business Protocol and Ethics is being offered at the Anaheim Campus and will start on Tuesday, October 23.
