Empowering youth: IIM Shillong's workshops focus on biz communication
Shillong: In a step towards enhancing employability and professional readiness among Meghalaya's youth, IIM Shillong, through its North East Centre for Community Impact and Engagement (NE-CCIE), conducted a series of intensive business communication and presentation skills workshops across leading institutions in Shillong.
Held under the chief minister's Business Catalyst Initiative from May 19 to 30, the programme reached students at MIT University, Martin Luther Christian University (MLCU), and William Carey University. The workshops were led by Cassie DeFilippo, an International English Language Fellow with the US Department of State, and organised in close collaboration with PRIME Meghalaya and the Govt of Meghalaya.
"Designed for students from diverse academic backgrounds including business, tourism, finance, and marketing, the sessions focused on nurturing essential communication skills critical for success in today's evolving professional landscape," an IIM statement said.
Participants explored various facets of effective communication, such as professional project writing, distinguishing between formal and informal language, using active and passive voice appropriately in business contexts, and the responsible integration of AI tools into communication tasks.
