Learning Skills

A large proportion of the necessary knowledge and skills we all deploy as professionals and executives are acquired post-graduation, and outside of a formal learning context.

Unfortunately, beyond giving us a strong motivation to learn, formal education does not prepare us to learn in the workplace. We must all develop new individual learning strategies and approaches to survive and thrive.

In conjunction with PDF, the Centre for Networked Learning is focused on researching into adult and professional learning and has developed effective approaches for meeting the needs of today's professionals and executives.

We are able to deliver programmes helping executives and professionals improve their learning skills including:

bulletIdentifying your own learning objectives (and continually assessing whether you are meeting them effectively)

bulletLearning through communication with peers

bulletDrawing support from experts

bulletMixing learning with work and life (maintaining the balance)

bulletEffective asynchronous communication

bulletReflective learning (including the use of learning journals)

bulletEffective experimentation

bulletUsing learning outcomes for career progression
