Greetings!
I am presently conducting a study entitled “On-the-Job Training: A Conduit for Improving the
Competencies of Students”. In the regard, I am asking for your precious time, and effort to answer all the
questions in the questionnaire that are important and helpful for the completion of the study. Rest
assured that all data gathered from you will be kept in the highest level of confidentiality. Your positive
response to this request will be a valuable contribution for the success of the study and will highly be
appreciated. Thank you very much for your cooperation.
Respectfully yours,
Grace A. Llobrera
