Volta offers a short Course in Personal Development Planning. The Course will involve a total of 6 hours of coaching, will take place in the second week of October and full details of will be published in September and discussed in the Annual General Assembly of October 2nd. There is no enrolment fee. All freshers need to attend this Course. Personal Development Plans are an important tool in the hands of University students and serve a dual role: on the one hand they constitute a faithful intellectual diary of a student's journey through his/her Course years. On the other hand they demonstrate a student's abilty to identify areas of strength and weakness and to take measures in order to overcome weaknesses and difficulties. Personal Development Plans have become particularly valuable tools in graduate careers because, unlike a strandard cv, personal development plans can demonstrate the problem-solving ability and the strategic thinking of a candidate.
