The teaching program will focus on group work and communicating with colleagues. Each week we will work on a theme, a problem or a technical issue and see how it is communicated in a range of work situations. It is our belief that while your technical abilities may be sufficient to get you a job in England, or here in an international company, your potential in a company will be limited if your communication skills are underdeveloped.
You will be provided with materials to improve your vocabulary and to develop your understanding of appropriate formal and informal language for work. This new vocabulary will then be put into use in games and team games. Understanding the cultural aspects of work is essential for success and this will be highlighted so that you will become aware of what is expected of you in an international company.
High salaries are paid for high commitment and high value work. How you relate to the interviewer and, for example, what you wear, are an essential part of succeeding in an interview and getting a good job. Likewise, good team work, personal connections and meeting the expectations of your employer are how you keep your job. There is a difference between Hungary and Western Europe, and this difference we will examine so that you are prepared to deal with it.
