needs to dedicate time to learning & developing skills

feel better if it were the type of training mentioned

5)I do it because it is mandatory;
2) I do it because it will help me learn my job
quicker;
3)I do it because it will give me skills I can
use in my next job;
4)I do it because it will help the company be
more profitable;
1) I do it because it allows me to refresh my
skills;
6)I do it because it is a way to get away from
my job
