Professional Advice Beyond the Classroom (ABCs)
This program sets the stage for today’s learners to become
tomorrow’s leaders. Students are connected with business
professionals who help them develop networking, time
management, presentation and interview skills to serve
them in life and careers. Through field trips students gain
first-hand exposure to the C-suite, boardroom and more.
The course culminates with a final presentation to business
executives
Among all-boys’ and coed schools, the 2019 McAuley
team took first place for its presentation.

The atmosphere is the best place to learn. I came into McAuley very shy and reserved and through
my four years here I have become a more vocal student. HANNA MAHERAS ‘19
