Social Flight School Company Preparation
Preparation
- Students and corporate partners get their flight plan for their 4 social scenes in Launchpad 1-2 weeks in advance so they can prepare. Flight plan includes a brief description of the social scene, which corporate partner will be at the scene to role play, which student(s) are role playing each scene, and who is on the flight (students and corporate partner pilot). Flight plans are posted 1-2 weeks before the event in the General channel. The Launchpad for Social Flight School will also include corporate partner contact info in a private channel that only students can see.
- Launchpad - login for ESSPS and PSLS students and corporate partners; must be registered or a key contact. You will receive an email from Microsoft Teams that you have been granted access to the team (ie: Launchpad).
- Social scene possibilities include: networking reception at a conference, dinner with a potential client after a sales call, company sponsored golf outing, holiday office party, client appreciation event at a sports game, trade show booth interaction, business flight, company lunch-n-learn, and volunteer event with co-workers.
- Plot twists are not shared in advance to encourage students to think on their feet. Plot twists can be etiquette or ethical based. Possibilities include alcohol consumption, tripping, dealing with a loud talker, receiving confidential information, etc.
