Role-Play & Skill Development
Using role-play in skill development has proven to be an invaluable training tool for all types of businesses – from industrial to corporate environments.

Role-playing happens when two or more people act out roles in a particular scenario. Any training that involves human communication can benefit from this powerful tool.
