Instead of classical instructional classes, the Personal Development Program offers a set of workshops during which you will:

  • Get exposed to theoretical knowledge about soft skills

  • Discuss, share your thoughts and experiences

  • Engage in practical exercises to familiarise yourself more with quality behaviours

  • Developing such behaviours into personal and professional habits

  • Get readier to tackle your future job in a professional manner from day one

 

What you need to know

The duration of this module is 18 to 20 weeks.

  • The event calls of the workshops are via Zoom.

  • You can find the link to the Zoom calls on your platform’s calendar.
