They can cover a wide range of topics relevant to a specific profession or industry, including new technologies, teaching methods, leadership skills, or industry best practices. 

PD workshops can take various forms, such as interactive sessions, tutorials, breakout sessions, debates, roundtables, or even tours or research incubators. 

Introduction:
