approach to skills development tend to move up the career ladder
quickly and in the direction they choose;

on the goals you want to reach and taking control of the route you
take to get there.
Competence

keep you at the leading edge of your discipline;

promotion boards, interviews and in areas where regulation requires
it.

gaining professional qualifications;
