INTRODUCTION
WELCOME to Career Achievement Workshop-Seminars. We are pleased to work with you and hope to make your experience highly informative, interesting and useful, yet enjoyable.
The seminar work is planned to encourage your professional growth by having you actively employ your present knowledge and reasoning abilities in learning new information. You will find some tasks relatively easy, while others may be complicated and somewhat difficult. They will vary also in the extent to which they allow you to feel finished with them. In those respects, of course, they reflect the everyday world, in which you live and work.
In life and in work, you don't just sit back quietly waiting for things to be given to you. No, you expect to put forth effort in order to obtain things of real value. Knowledge, if it is to be of real value, must be in the outcome of effort-mental effort. So dig in, try your ideas and use your skills. Talk with one another in doing the tasks and share your views.
