Students are beginning their 8 weeks of professional and skills training around the country, and they’re learning a ton of new topics. From computer software to elevator pitches to accounting principles… It’s valuable to get your students talking about what they learned. It will help them retain their new knowledge, and give you something exciting to talk about over the dinner table.
Here are a few questions that you can ask students to get them talking about their summer training:
