Exclusive Eve with glamour 'The DEnG Workshop'- Are You Ready? 2016

Professional Development Feb 01, 2017

DE&G, the ‘Dining Etiquette and Grooming Workshop’ was organized by Rotaract Mora in order to give a firsthand experience on personal grooming and dining etiquette to the final year undergraduates of the University of Moratuwa who will join the corporate world in the near future. This workshop is to go beyond the knowledge the undergraduates acquired during the past four years and to prepare to face the corporate world as real professionals.

The DE&G session was held on the 9^th of December 2016 as the concluding session of ‘Are You Ready? 2016’, at Hotel Galadari, Colombo. It was conducted by Mrs. Manusha Weerakkody, HR consultant, training facilitator and an Executive Coach by profession with over 15 years of corporate training experience. This session was focused on grooming and etiquette skills, customs and rules of polite behavior that would help the participants to increase their professional image, poise, and confidence. The final phase of the session was the demonstration in dining etiquettes followed by a four-course dinner arranged exclusively for this workshop to heighten the undergraduates dining skills.

Along with the final year undergraduates, Rotaractors from Rotaract Mora and few other Rotaract clubs of the district 3220 participated in the event. The secret behind the success of this event was the untiring efforts of the organizing committee led by the co-chair persons Rtr. Gevindu Ediriweera and Rtr. Praveen Thrilanka.

No more fumbles when using forks and knives, no embarrassments at handshake, no more fuss over what to wear over semi-formal official party attire. The workshop covered areas that are acceptable professional behavior and to groom ourselves accordingly.
