What's Happening To Our Kids???

This is how life today has changed... This is how the world is today... Science, technology and ICT have  advanced to make life much easier but at the same time  has its bad effects... People text, wish you good luck or send birthday wishes via text messaging, Facebook, wedding announcement via Twitter and all that mobile apps you have.... Well, in a way, it is good since that is much easier to reach people even all over the world but the "feel" of really meeting someone in person or talking over the phone is no more there. See, technology has its good and bad side. For business people wanting to expand their business over the horizon, these technologies and social networking are important to them.. But have we stopped to think about how it is affecting our kids...?? May be some of this picture will let you pause and think for awhile. Do leave a comment on how you feel about this issue.

Been there, is that as same as other motivational camp? Nope… PELTAC is a unique motivational camp. The best camp held in Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) every year!

This is a great opportunity. We’ve been through it and that’s why we are here talking to you as we want you to be part of the big PELTAC family! We want everyone to bring out the best in themselves.


THEME FOR PELTAC 2012:
ARISE, SHINE, IMPACT
TO LEAP BEYOND THE IMPOSSIBLE 

The whole theme Arise, Shine and Impact to Leap Beyond the Impossible suggests that one should come out from one’s past that is keeping one from moving forward, to learn from the past and make the past be a stepping stone for one to lead a better future. Hence, with this plus the five elements of PELTAC which is Professional, Engineering, Leadership, Teamwork and Awareness will help PELTAC participants to integrate and apply these elements in their daily life so that they may be an example and stand out to the people around them.

In PELTAC 2012, we hope that you will transform and take this opportunity to learn and polish the five elements of PELTAC whether you already have it or not. We also hope that with PELTAC 2012 you will have the confidence and believe to take one step ahead to achieve the impossible.
