Business Etiquette and
Networking
Brochure
Wednesday, August 13th from 9 AM
—Noon
Montgomery Hall, Venango Campus
Presenter: Rick Capozzi, The Capozzi Group
Business Etiquette and Networking is part of the Clarion and Venango
County Professional Skills
Development Series
Rick Capozzi’s teaching style of
“learning with laughter” guarantees attendees of
walking away feeling good about their new practical
techniques.
It is
increasingly clear that our behaviors, both at work and at
home, mean
something to others around us. Our appearance,
what we say,
how tactful we are, how we build relationships are all
critically
important. Whether or not we think it’s unfair, people
make
character judgments about our abilities based on how we
handle social
situations. This practical seminar will impart the etiquette
guidelines
you need to know. This program, which prepares
for success
in the workplace and in life, will help you to:
• Know
and follow “the rules” of business etiquette
•
Determine when it’s OK to break the rules and when it’s
important
to use professional manners
• Free
yourself from doubt and anxiety about the impression
that
you’re making on others
• Put
yourself in control of virtually every social situation
Topics—
•
Professional image standards
•
Developing rapport, making introductions, using proper
greetings, how to use names/titles
• Dining
etiquette—“which fork do I use?”
•
Demonstrating common courtesies and good manners
•
Networking with results

NHLA Lumber Inspection
School
from Memphis is coming to Oil City!
Venango Technology Center
June 2 - Aug. 8, 2008 |
|
The National Hardwood Lumber Association (NHLA) is a
nonprofit trade association composed of more than 1600
member companies that produce, sell and use hardwood
lumber, or provide services to the hardwood industry.
The Association was founded in 1898 to establish a
uniform system of Grading Rules for the measurement and
inspection of hardwood lumber. The Association still
functions as the administrator and keeper of these
Rules. |
|
In 1948, the Association established a vocational
training school in Memphis to teach the Rules and
application of the NHLA grading system, and help fill an
increasing demand for skilled lumber inspectors. Since
that time, more than 6,700 students have graduated from
the Inspection Program. The Summer 2008 Class will mark
the first year the Inspection School will take place at
Venango Technology Center in Oil City, PA. |
|
The Inspection School is the only school of its kind in
the world and students from throughout the United
States, Canada, Europe, Africa, South America and Asia
have attended. As testimony to the value of the
Inspection School, many graduates are now in ownership
or management positions in the industry and are sending
their children and employees to complete the course. |
