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.

You must truly be a life-long 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, behaviours, 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 course will help you to become a better learner, and as a result, make you a more valuable employee and well-rounded individual.
