Enjoy the Journey
CSU Learn has implemented a new type of content called Journeys.
Each Journey is a guided collection of courses, book and audio summaries about specific roles and skills. A journey keeps you working toward an overall goal, helping you to achieve your career aspirations. Each stage takes you step-by-step through a diverse set of topic areas. As you move along the path, each journey builds upon your current knowledge allowing you to broaden and strengthen your skills.
Journeys are made up of required tracks, which contain all of the learning content for a specific path or job function, as well as optional resources. To complete a journey, you must complete all of the tracks within the learning path.
Once you complete your journey, you will receive a certificate of completion.
Currently we have two categories of Journeys:
- Aspire Journeys for Business Skills - examples in this category include Administrative Assistant, Communications Manager, Customer Service Representative, Event Planner, Finance for Non-Financial Professionals, Office Manager, and many more
- Aspire Journeys for Technology and Developer - examples include Agile for Software Development, Business Analyst to Data Analyst, Data for Decision-Makers and Leaders, Data Visualization Mastery, Developer Fundamentals, and many more
Find the Journeys by logging in to CSU Learn > click the Library menu on the left hand side > open the Sillsoft Persipio Content menu > click either Aspire Journeys for Business Skills or Aspire Journeys for Technology and Developer.
This is an extraordinary opportunity to learn, at your own pace, new skills or to enhance your knowledge to continue your current journey, or to start a new journey towards a new position.
