Careers In Business (CIB)
November 2025
In the first half of November, we focus on how to deliver presentations without reading directly from the PowerPoint slides. We specifically focus on preparation, rehearsal, eye contact, tone, and especially knowing your audience. We also work on dropping the “um”, “uh”, and “like” from their vocabulary which has perhaps been the most challenging part! I’m looking forward to seeing each of them improve over the next couple of weeks.
During the last half of November, the class pivots to Excel, Personal Finance and Business Math. They will eventually tackle banking, checking, savings, credit, debt, and the importance of budgeting to live within your means. All of these are life skills to help them become financially independent.
CIB II students will continue to work at their internships and add to their portfolios. In particular, documenting the skills they are learning on the job, known as employability skills. Recognizing these skills is valuable because they can better explain all they’ve accomplished during college and/or job interviews. I am so proud of the exceptional feedback from mentors about the year two students. Great job everyone! Remember to be thankful for the time spent with family and friends during Thanksgiving break.
