What’s Out There
Learning platforms are available for those looking to hone specific skills, including everything from coding and IT engineering, to web design and entrepreneurship.
Webinars and online classes cater to an individual’s interests and passions and provide a convenient way to build or refresh skills that are relevant to any career. Historically, such continuing education resources were chiefly the domain of colleges, but increasingly both universities and businesses alike are recognizing the value and benefit to delivering more learner-centric opportunities.
Code Academy, for example, is an education company that provides data science and software programming training for a variety of skill levels and age groups.
CreativeLive, a web platform that offers more than 1,500 curated classes, enables adults to learn from experts in art, design, photography and video.
Online learning platforms, such as Amway Education, offer a variety of business skill building courses, such as public speaking, active listening and business etiquette, for entrepreneurs at any stage of their careers.
Linder Global Events offers event planning professionals help with executing on every aspect, while Nextpoint webinars are aimed at helping attorneys build stronger, more agile teams.
The American Chemical Society even offers webinars for chemists who are exploring specific industries or need to brush up on basic skills.
Adult learners value a personalized path to productivity and growth that enables them to take their education to the next level. The many tools at their disposal, from webinars to online classes and other resources, make it possible to craft specific goals and curriculum styles, fitting continuing education into already busy lives. This learning and development turns out more productive professionals and happier human beings, broadening the benefits to every corner of the communities these individuals touch.
