Continuous Learning

Continuous Learning is the process of acquiring new knowledge and skills to benefit you in personal or professional settings. Whether you are new in your position or have years of experience, there is always room for growth. Below are tips on how to implement continuous learning at work:

• Use resources that are available to you: Many organizations offer training and workshops for employers to attend and develop skills. If you are unsure of the opportunities that are provided at your workplace, ask your manager. There are also resources available for students, such as the Arts Career Development Certificate Program which will help you enhance your career skills. 

• Search for opportunities: If your organization doesn't offer any opportunities that pique your interest, you can also suggest learning opportunities that are offered outside your workplace. The Government of Canada has a career training portal consisting of various training opportunities. If you find an opportunity that seems valuable for your position, pitch it to your manager to see if you can attend it.
