School Enrichment Training
Posted by Joelseah on May 22, 2009
Went to a neighbourhood school to conduct a training on Travel and Tourism this morning. The gist of the training revolves around the tourism industry and equipping the students with some knowledge on what it takes to be a Tour Guide (yeah.. in case you’re wondering, I was in tourism for 7 years before becoming a trainer).
Some of the key skills that the students learnt included stuff like presentation skills, interesting stories and facts about Singapore, itinery planning and coordination. There’s gonna be a field trip next week to allow the students to put what they learn into practice.
I must say, conducting a training in a class of over 30 noisy kids is one very interesting experience. Thankfully, I have a loud voice =P Though because of the weather, I was perspiring a lot (it didn’t help that I had to be dressed formally).
Food for thought: Would you rather be a school teacher and deal with kids, or a corporate trainer and deal with adults?
