The Boot Camp is a half-day session and will be offered in two sessions on Thursday, September 17 from 8:00 am - noon or 1:00 - 5:00 pm. The seminar is in partnership with the Paducah Area Chamber of Commerce and will be held at the Commerce Center, 300 South Third Street, in the Paducah Bank Room.
Finding employees with good “soft skills” is a workforce issue, according to a study recently conducted by the Kentucky Chamber of Commerce. They surveyed about 480 large and small employers and asked them their opinions of the state's workforce. About 27 percent said they have trouble finding people with good "soft skills," which include personal responsibility, communication and an ability to work well with others.
This seminar provides a powerful message about the necessary skills that will lead to increased employee effectiveness while boosting a company’s productivity, retention and customer satisfaction. Seminar topics will include: image, importance of strategies, creativity, communications, project management, problem-solving skills, customer service, teamwork, conflict resolution, exceeding expectations and leadership.
