53 free courses to boost your business knowledge, skills

Posted by on Nov 7, 2017 in In The News | 0 comments

Do you know what MOOCs are?

MOOGs were one of the first musical synthesizers, but MOOCs are something else entirely. The letters stand for Massive Open Online Courses. These are generally college-level classes offered by universities around the world.

Did I mention that they are free?

Class Central is a clearing house for hundreds – if not thousands – of these courses, and the site is well worth exploring.

I have put together a list of business courses that are starting this month. I think that many of the computer and data courses would also be valuable for business owners and leaders; if you agree, do a little exploring on Class Central. I didn’t want the list posted here to get too long.

When you find courses that aren’t starting soon, you can sign up to get notified when a new section gets underway.

As I recently wrote, if you aren’t improving your skills and knowledge your value is depreciating, so make it a goal to find at least one of these MOOCs in the coming months and knock it out! By the way, they are also great for bolstering the folks on your team.
