Becoming Career Ready through Courses – Communication

Communication

“Since I am a Communications major, I was able to enhance my communication skills through a variety of classes including Public Speaking and Interpersonal Communication. For example, in my public speaking course, we learned and practiced different communication techniques and strategies. This was very important as I recognize that every career path will have a communication requirement, and the ability to communicate within teams is essential for any job.” – Brynne B.

“I was able to participate in UConn’s public speaking competition as a freshman and in many of my major and general education classes, I was required to give presentations or encouraged to work on communicating professionally through my writing and speaking. This was important because it prepared me to communicate in different contexts and forums.” – Jennifer M.

“I enhanced my communication competency and developed my professional, verbal, and technological skills in my behavioral neuroscience research lab when I presented our data in the form of a virtual poster at the Eastern Psychological Association annual conference.” – Julianne K.
