No matter what business or industry you are in, it’s important to continually build your skillset. Do you find yourself nearing the end of the year thinking toward the future with a desire to increase your skillset? Fortunately, the internet makes it easier than ever to continually learn and advance your knowledge. Here are a few online skill development resources to consider.
LinkedIn Learning
LinkedIn is a great place to share and connect with other business professionals, and LinkedIn Learning provides thousands of courses covering almost anything business-related, including:
-
Marketing
-
Project Management
-
Programming Languages
-
Leadership Development
Additionally, LinkedIn will actually suggest courses for you based on keywords that appear in your personal profile. There is a wealth of options to choose from, both free and paid.
Udemy
Udemy is touted as a business and team-oriented learning resource, but their topics include things you may find useful in both your business and personal life. In addition to business topics such as marketing and finance, they also have courses covering topics including home improvement, travel, dog grooming, and photography. You can pick and choose your desired skills and select options within your budget with courses starting at just $12.99.
Skillshare
Skillshare is another great online learning resource. This service is geared more toward enhancing your creativity. However, this can still benefit you in your business realm, since getting your creative juices flowing may help you think outside the box and find creative solutions to everyday work problems. Also, as we’ve mentioned in a previous blog, it’s important to make time for yourself. Participating in a creative activity can help you unwind and refresh, making you more prepared to tackle your work responsibilities.
