FROM A PROFESSIONAL’S GUIDE TO MODERN LEARNING

When it comes to career. it’s up to every individual to stay relevant, and prepare for the future, and in order to do that you will need to take responsibility for your own career development,

“… every one of us must have a career strategy, and that strategy should be guided by your industry’s trajectory. You should be fine-tuned to the intricacies of your profession. You have no choice. You have to self-develop to stay relevant. Always remember that YOU are in charge of your career Never get sucked into the “company knows best” approach to your career.”

Creating modern training, content, events and experiences

4 March – 12 April 2019

L&D departments have traditionally focused on training people for compliance or conformance. This has  been done in the classroom training and more recently through e-learning. However, in the modern workplace we need more relevant solutions to performance problems, and where training (of some sort) is required, more modern approaches. This 6-week will look at how to create training, content, events and experiences for the modern workplace.
