By leveraging the toolkit’s resources, users can tailor their learning experience to focus on areas of interest or improvement.
Business Scenarios: Users are presented with real-life business scenarios commonly encountered in the workplace. Through these scenarios, they can gain practical insights into decision-making, conflict resolution, and project management, preparing them for the challenges they may face in their careers.
