Digital transformations are changing every aspect of our world, none more so than our places of employment. Automation is expected to impact 50% or more of Canadian jobs in the next 10 years.
The good news is that new opportunities are filling the gap for those of us who are prepared. How can you equip yourself with the skills required to take advantage of the new opportunities these technology shifts are creating in the digital economy? Laurier has launched a series of professional development online courses, which you can combine into a full certificate, designed to help you master the concepts you'll need to increase your marketability and succeed in this new environment.
Learning Online
These courses are designed with you in mind: they are fully online and structured so that you control the pace at which you learn. Each course consists of five short modules, with each module teaching a specific aspect of the technology or tool. You can progress through these courses as fast or as slow as you like. Each course is approximately 10 hours total, and includes recent news articles, instructional videos, and discussions of current events related to the subject. You can enjoy learning anywhere, because each course is laptop and mobile friendly.
