That last ten pounds. Quitting smoking.  Discarding your fashion faux pas from the past year. Every year, we think about what to get rid of. Why not focus on gaining something, like a little knowledge?

Today’s careers are more demanding than ever. What is cutting edge today may well be obsolete tomorrow. Professional development and job skills training have become an essential part of most careers. But how do you find the time to perform the obligations associated with your job when you are trying to stay on top of your skills with ongoing training and other professional development activities?

elevateU can help to meet these demands. Take a course, whenever it’s convenient for you.  Watch a five minute video to boost a specific skill.  Download an audio book to listen to on your commute.  So many options, to make the most of your precious time.

As we approach a new year, you may want to watch this elevateU video:
