“The quality workshop programs catering to different skills and interests will give professionals a career advantage. And this is the same drive we will bank on to sustain the Academy,” said Inquirer president and CEO Alexandra Prieto-Romualdez.

The Inquirer Academy implements a 70-20-10 learning and development approach.

The 70 percent is based on learning through concepts application, the 20 percent is learning is through peers, while 10 percent is based on classroom-type learning.
