• Help themselves to improve their own career opportunities in the organization

Grammar components have been included in this program. This is simply because it has been found that lack of knowledge of grammar is why many are unable to construct proper sentences. Some grammar rules are like a formula that can be learned and applied repeatedly. This can be easily taught.
