Summer is moving into
its final weeks and fall is upon us. We can already see changing leaves,
cooling temperatures and the beginning of the football season. A big part of
this time of year is “back to school” with the non-stop advertising of clothes
and school supplies. But once we’ve gotten our children ready for the new
school year, it’s time to think about what we could do for our education. Yes, our
education. One of the best things about life is that we can keep learning new
information and skills to further our careers or because we just want to learn.
How can we jumpstart our brain for this fall season? What will be our “back to
school?”
Perhaps take a class
at your community center, local college or from a wonderful training and
education institute like PTI. Here at PTI, we have a great program whether
you’re a nurse, dietitian, social worker, medical assistant or any other
