The Reasoned Action for Problem Solving (RAPS) and Personal Academic Career Enrichment (PACE) workshops are for all students who want to enhance their development in a holistic manner.

 

The programmes are structured in order to facilitate student participation in highly interactive sessions that will allow them to discuss common interests as they relate to their well-being, academic, career and personal success.

 

Students have the opportunity to learn how to study smart, make friends, negotiate difficult relationships, solve problems creatively and begin to plan for their future in a chosen career.

The interactive nature of these workshops is of value to you, such that:

• You will have the support of others whom share similar challenges.
• You will receive objective and helpful feedback from your peers.
• You are able to critically evaluate your own methods in the light of information shared by the facilitators and your peers.
• You are able to acknowledge and honour your own ability to come up with solutions which can be shared with others who find them practical and workable.
• You are able to collectively generate new solutions to problems situations.
