There is no question that education is one of the best assets that will jump start professional development. Education is the cumulative knowledge that you gained through various formal and informal engagements. Your formal education involves the process of obtaining knowledge through schools where the roles of teachers and students are properly established. Although knowledge obtained through this process is valuable in your professional development, the informal education has been proven to be as valuable.
