There was a time when what you learned in school before entering the workforce would be all you needed to know for the rest of your career. That is no longer the case, as today skills can become outdated very quickly. The rapid evolution of workplace technologies and best practices means you need to keep your skills current. You must truly be a lifelong learner and can no longer rely on what you already know.
The definition of learning is the process of acquiring new, or modifying existing knowledge, behaviors, skills, values, or preferences. It is a means of honing our skills, enriching our minds, and changing the way we see things in the world.
This one-day course will help you to become a better learner, and as a result make you a more valuable employee and well-rounded individual.
You will learn: what it means to learn and become a lifelong learner; what a mindset for learning looks like and how to adopt one; how to set realistic goals; what your network is and why expanding it is important; how to ask questions and why that is important; how to become accountable for your goals and take responsibility; and how to accelerate your learning.
All Velsoft training materials are fully customizable. Each package comes complete with an instructor guide, student manual, PowerPoint slides, quick reference guide, and much more.
