AREA Interns 2025: Business Etiquette
The AREA Intern Program is a summer series designed to help interns and college students connect with local business leaders while exploring the opportunities the Ames region has to offer. By immersing interns and college students in a variety of professional development experiences, we hope to inspire them to consider staying in the AREA as they begin their careers. Thanks to our Workforce Sponsors, events are free to attend, but registration is required. This program was previously known as “See Yourself In Ames.”
The second event focuses on Business Etiquette, an essential skill for navigating professional environments with confidence. Interns will hear from Ashley Redeker with Modern Dress and Ashley Martin with Moorman’s to learn the best practices for dressing appropriately for various settings, including the office, business meetings, conferences, and networking events. The workshop will cover everything from professional attire to understanding how to project a polished, confident image in the workplace. In addition, the event will cover Dining Etiquette from Rachel Geilenfeld with Chevron REG, preparing interns for dining situations they may encounter in a professional setting. Topics will include table manners, how to handle formal meals, and the dos and don’ts of conducting business over lunch or dinner. This event aims to equip interns with the social tools they need to excel in any professional setting, ensuring they’re ready to represent themselves and their future employers with grace and confidence.
