Building Professional Connections in Turkmenistan: C5+O.N.E. Participants Master the Networking Pitch
More than 60 Cohort 6 participants took part in intensive speaking sessions on professional introductions and networking at the International University of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs in Ashgabat.
Led by Karissa Huntington, Director for Field Programs at the American Councils for International Education, the sessions focused on "Networking Pitch: Mastering Professional Introductions and Networking." Participants learned how to introduce themselves confidently, communicate their professional value, and engage in meaningful conversations.
Working directly with a native English speaker, participants strengthened their listening and speaking skills through interactive activities and extensive practice. They developed effective networking pitches, learned strategies for making a strong first impression, and gained confidence in presenting themselves in academic and professional settings.
