Development Training
Description
Development training embraces a range of active approaches to learning which aim to develop people's ability to learn from experience. Development Training combines the concepts of development (change and growth) and training (learning specific skills). Development Training according to Everard (1993) is a process of active learning from experience, leading to systematic and purposeful development of the whole person. The module takes the form of 12 theme based workshops.
