Overview

In today's fast-paced and constantly changing work environment, employees are being called upon to do more and more. The speed at which employees can acquire new skills and improve upon them directly correlates to their professional growth. That being said, many managers find themselves challenged to find the time to help employees create and track the progress of individual development plans.  

 

Using a science-backed approach, you will learn how to learn—better, faster, and easier.  

 

This course gives you the tools to identify your learning style so you can take a more active role in managing your development. We will discuss ensuring your development addresses the DEI needs of today's workplace environment. You will also develop a resource list to focus on the skills/training you need for your current job and your next desired role.  

 

Since employees need to take a more proactive role, this course also discusses the mindset shift necessary for individuals to embrace the development process.  

 

Overall, you will learn a more hands-on approach to managing your skill development versus relying solely on others or testing/assessments. Develop your "learning mindset" to acquire professional knowledge and interpersonal skills to advance your career. The course concepts can be applied to help others with their development as well. 

 

The Course provides information and several hands-on exercises to identify specific learning opportunities, develop expertise in desired subjects, and develop the skills to focus/learn/retain critical information.
