A free professional development workshop will be held on September 20, 2015 from 1pm-5pm (appx. end time) and is open to all students! The program, termed "Engineering Futures," was founded more than 20 years ago in response to a need to provide engineering students training in the "soft skills," those non-technical skills necessary for success in the workplace but rarely included in engineering curricula.
In this program, Tau Beta Pi brings in established and certified professionals to facilitate the workshops. Four of the five modules are the same as those purchased by companies across the nation to train their employees. UF's chapter holds five different sessions during the calendar year. If a student completes all five workshops, he or she receives a certificate of completion, a distinguishable mark on a resume and in practice.
The September workshop is titled "People Skills" and the aim is to equip students with the skills needed to interact with different people and mediate conflicts.
As always, lunch will be provided! Location: NPB 1220. Please RSVP at the following link: http://uftbp.com/page.php?p=eventRSVP
