The Evolution of Interaction
While interactions between species and the effect this has over them has been largely discussed by many scholars and others alike for centuries, we would like to focus on the interactions between humans in the past few decades.
The way we communicate with each other is changing continuously. New technology emerges every day that affects how we interrelate with each other in our daily lives and at work. Adapting, and embracing, this technology is part of enhancing our job skillset; it is not only an “it would be wonderful to have” but an “I need to use this to do my job.”
CSU Learn has many options to enhance your job skills:
- Courses: There are thousands of courses that you can take at your own pace.
- Books and Audiobooks: There are hundreds of books available for free. You can read them on your computer.
- Bundles: These are curated groups of courses about multiple topics, from business operations to data management, and everything in between.
- Journeys: These are similar to Bundles except that they keep you working toward an overall goal, helping you to achieve your career aspirations. Journeys are divided by stages building upon what you have learned.
Outside of CSU Learn, there are many other options. We have partnered with many CSU campuses that offer monthly in-person (via zoom) courses. These vary from how to enhance your personal brand, how to better interview for jobs, how to communicate better, and much more.
This month try at least one of the many offers and let us know what you learned. Please send us your comments at training@humboldt.edu.
