Chaim Shapiro’s piece on transitioning from a yeshivah environment to the corporate world [Issue 916] continues to draw feedback

I want to commend Mishpacha on the excellent, excellent, excellent article, “They Don’t Teach Corporate in Yeshivah” by Chaim Shapiro.
It seems to me that it’s imperative that our young, sheltered students are properly prepared before they step through the looking glass into a quite foreign, gentile corporate culture. Mr. Shapiro has touched all the bases, and you’ve performed a terrific service by printing his article. Thank you.
I really enjoyed reading the article “They Don’t Teach Corporate in Yeshivah.” Through my experiences as a professor and now as the program director in the master’s level occupational therapy program at LIU-Brooklyn, I believe the points that were made in this article are also true for women entering the field.
Frum women entering the workplace also tend to be lacking certain professional skills and etiquette that can be mastered with some mentoring and coaching. However, as someone who has taught students of many different cultures and backgrounds, I feel confident in sharing that these skills are often lacking in many new employees (regardless of culture), and are only present in a small group of new graduates entering the field.
