Hi Postgrads!
Right now we are facing some truly unprecedented times that have probably left a lot of us wondering what the future holds and what ‘normal’ will be in the weeks or months to come! Things that we normally do have been disrupted in some way or another and have left some of us with more time on our hands. Considering this - what have you done with your time so far? Have you picked up a new hobby? Or have you learnt a new skill? Skill! That’s the keyword and focus of this blog!
So far, I have picked up and dropped several hobbies - I tried painting (that did not work), I tried knitting (didn’t work either), then finally it hit me! The University in partnership with LinkedIn Learning offers a wide range of opportunities for UoB students to learn several skills for FREE covering academic, digital, leadership, business, as well as personal development.
Below are some of the other benefits of this platform which I do encourage you to check out...
You don't have to have an existing LinkedIn account to get on board and there's even a course on using LinkedIn Learning.
I recently started a course on graphic design and have learnt so much in such a short period of time. Therefore, I highly recommend that you take advantage of this opportunity while you have the time to. Another good thing to note is that the platform has a lot of skills and topics to choose from - like developing your presentation skills or learning a new language as highlighted above.
For more information on accessing LinkedIn learning and getting started, see the Uni’s intranet page.
I hope you find this as useful as I have found it, and hope to check in on you soon to see if you’ve found a course that matches your interests!
Connect with me on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook for more updates.
