PD12: Reflection and Learning in the Workplace

PD12: Reflection and Learning in the Workplace helps students develop critical workplace skills and qualities like self-awareness, initiative, and adaptability. Successful professionals aren’t perfect, but they learn from their mistakes and make effective apologies. They also develop a keen understanding of their organization’s culture and their place within said culture, and that knowledge helps prevent future missteps. Students who take PD12 understand the significance of these skills and start refining them for their own personal use.

What do PD12 students do?

• Set a SMART goal and track their progress throughout the term
• Practice accepting responsibility in the workplace through professional communication
• Reflect proficiently, and learn to write effective reflections
