1. Introduction / Executive Summary

This section provides an overview of the training/activities you have done during
the P1 practical. The summary is a one-to-two page summation of the complete
training that was done. The objective is to provide the reader with an overall
impression of the training. It should therefore include a summary of the training
program, type of work done, type of projects completed, type of training received, a
summary of what was done, how it was done, the results, and some concluding
remarks.
An executive summary is an initial interaction between the writers of the report and their target
readers: decision makers, potential customers, and/or peers. A business leaders decision to
continue reading a certain report often depends on the impression the executive summary
gives.
The readers decision to continue to read the rest of the report is based on the
summarized information presented in the executive summary.
