Explore these new free business courses that start soon

Posted by on Jan 24, 2018 in In The News | 0 comments

Several new, free, online courses were recently announced. I’ve gone through them to find the ones that would benefit business owners and leaders the most. Many of these start soon, so don’t delay in checking them out.

Of particular interest to me were the courses on intrepreneurship, computer science for professionals, innovation, and writing for social media. I think virtually every business owner would find at least one of these to be extremely helpful for supporting growth in 2018.

Also, as you look at the list, don’t forget the others on your team. One of the best ways to build loyalty and strength within your company is to actively support and encourage your employees to grow within their roles and become prepared to take on greater responsibilities.

Finally, who wouldn’t be happy to take a free class from Harvard or UC Berkeley?

PS – If the timing of these doesn’t work out for you, look over this list of free self-paced business courses.
