Top20 LOGOThe top ranked Rothman Institute of Entrepreneurial Studies at FDU’s Silberman College of Business has been teaching communication, networking and business etiquette skills to high school students for many years as part of its popular Discover Business Teen Camp program held each summer and taught by our faculty. In addition, FDU's acclaimed entrepreneurship program has been teaching undergraduate and graduate students these topics for 20 years. 

Based on this experience, we have developed, tested and refined an online communication, etiquette and networking program designed to teach high school students these important skills to help them excel through high school, college and beyond.

Participating students who enroll in the certificate program receive a certificate after viewing lectures, reading assigned materials, completing several exercises, and passing a multiple-choice exam with one essay question. This achievement can also be listed on your resume. Based on our experience, the estimated time to complete this intensive program is 7 to 9 hours.

Note: These programs are available free of charge if the student does not want the University to assess their tests and essays, or issue a certificate. In our experience, the assessment process and the resulting certificate are important markers for student success.

Our goal is to educate young people so that they have the necessary skills to lead and be successful in the future. If that can be accomplished without faculty guidance or the goal of a certificate, the material is available at no cost.
