The curriculum consists of a variety of concepts – which will be taught through seminars and workshops – intended to build the foundation of some of the most essential principles of a professional. The first three items on the curriculum are imperative to successful professional development, and the last item is devoted to teaching about several tools that are relevant to almost everyone’s life.
