Win A Week For Two In Valencia With ESL


Anyone looking for a place to work and play hard, should look no further than Valencia. Famous for its great year round weather and unspoilt coastline, there will be plenty here to keep the traveller busy. Typical mornings will be taken up with classes, where learners will brush up on theirr reading, writing and listening skills under the guidance of highly qualified language teachers. Class sizes are kept small to ensure maximum individual attention and are grouped according to ability, meaning everyone can work at a pace comfortable for them.

In the afternoons, students typically get out into the city and practice their newly acquired skills. There is a wealth of great architecture not to be missed, from Gothic to Roman, which sits seamlessly nestled side by side with some exciting modern designs. From the iconic opera house to the Valencia Cathedral, there is something around new around every corner. For those who are more of a shopper, the central market covers over 8000 square feet and sells a wealth of local produce from silk to cherries; pop in for a bargain or just sip a coffee and watch the bustle in one of the many street cafes.

The Spanish are famed for their late night socializing, and Valencians are no exception. Of an evening, learners and their new classmates will be spoilt for choice. Watching the sun set on the La Albufera lagoon is a popular choice, where students can also grab a wholesome plate of authentic Spanish paella before returning home to a comfortable modern apartment block. All for absolutely nothing! All hopeful winners have to do to enter is answer three simple questions about Valencia, head to http://www.esl.co.uk for more details.

The Graduate Management Admission Council Launches Reflect(TM) by GMAC, Powered by Hogan Assessments


The Graduate Management Admission Council, in partnership with Hogan Assessments, today launched its newest product, Reflect by GMAC, a soft-skills solution for use by students, professionals at any stage in their careers, business schools looking to develop leadership skills in the classroom, or corporations working to identify and develop talent in the workplace.
"Until now, there have been soft-skills assessments based on hard science for corporate, school or executive-coached programs or soft-science products for individual use. Reflect is a hard-science, data-driven product developed with the individual, schools and corporations in mind," said Dave Wilson, president and CEO of GMAC. "Reflect breaks new ground in this very important career and educational development space by meeting the needs of individuals looking to advance their careers or professional education, as well as schools and corporations looking to develop the personal or professional strengths of their students or staff."
What is Reflect by GMAC?
Reflect is a self-administered online assessment and self-directed, soft-skills development program.
Soft skills, or competencies, are an important set of personal attributes that enhance an individual's interactions, job performance and career prospects. GMAC worked with schools, corporate recruiters and experts in soft-skills development to identify 10 competencies essential to job and career success.
Two Partners, Three Assessments, 10 Competencies, One Report, and a Library, all-in-one
To build Reflect, GMAC partnered with world-class personality assessment provider Hogan Assessment Systems, an international authority in personality assessment and consulting with more than 25 years of experience working with some of the largest, most successful companies in the world, including more than half of the Fortune 100.
By combining the powerful science of Hogan's three flagship assessments into one product, Reflect identifies individual personal and professional strengths, weaknesses and core drivers along 10 competencies essential for success. Within 45 minutes of input, users have access to an online library of articles, book summaries, and videos with actionable development advice -- based on their competency scores -- from the industry's best executive coaches. Users can also benchmark their scores against high performers in 14 job categories.
"Meaningful career development is no longer just for the executive suite," said Ryan Ross, vice president of Global Alliances at Hogan. "Through our partnership with GMAC, we are able to offer the powerful science of Hogan's personality assessments to those who will have the biggest impact on the future of organizations."
