This package includes a description of Nova University's Human Resource Development (HRD) core seminar and materials from the International Cluster. The first section presents the rationale for HRD as learning to learn becomes the critical technology in an era of global competition and accelerating modernization. An overview of Nova's core HRD seminars is followed by a description of the International Cluster HRD, started for foreign students and persons living in remote areas.
