Personal Development Plan

The Personal Development Plan (PDP) has been designed to help each and every participant gain the maximum benefit from the program as
well as construct a roadmap for future development beyond the AMP. We have always been highly focused on diversity and, therefore, understand
that each participant joins the program with his or her unique set of strengths, weaknesses and objectives. For this reason, the PDP has been
structured to allow for individual guidance by:
