Doesn’t that look like a manufacturing production line. This system is failing the majority of our students. I think that if you were to design [...]

The Christmas Story: Does It Still Matter?

Alain — Wed, 21 Dec 2011 15:06:19 +0000

There is a crisis in the human resources climate, as critical as the climate crisis. Talents and passionate people are being wasted, positions are filled with people that do not like them.
