I don't think you can really teach someone how to be personable -- some folks are just introverted by nature. I think those who need to beef up their conversational skills just need to practice (sitting down with people they trust to become more comfortable with small talk, etc).

Otherwise, necessity will force them to pick up the skills (in the real world, you have to network and make small talk, so if they want to succeed, they'll need to work on it).

Hope that made sense.
