While work-integrated learning (WIL) is seen as a way to address the call for improved "employment readiness" and generic skills of graduates, it has been stated that WIL programs need to be "well managed and structured" and "well integrated". To provide such structure and integration a Professional Development (PD) Program was developed to assist…

Adi, Erwin; Aditya, I Gde Made Krisna; Citrawati, Meriyana – Journal of Information Technology Education, 2010
Learning physical activities such as sports and games is expensive and time-consuming.
