While the idea of skills-based development and training sounds so appealing and a worthy investment, what’s the one thing that holds us back? Time. We’re already being pulled in a thousand different directions and the prospect of adding something else, even though we know it could be incredibly beneficial, just doesn’t seem possible. So, we put it on the backburner or forget about it all together.
Fortunately, there is a solution and it comes in the form of short courses. And the benefits are numerous. This month, we’ll break down some of the biggest ones:
Teaches in less time, but with lots of impact
As we all know, time is a precious commodity, and capsulized courses meet the need for skills-based learning in a fraction of the time. Students often report higher levels of retention when courses are offered in smaller, focused ‘chunks’, rather than longer, drawn-out lessons.
Offers rapid skill acquisition
Short courses are designed to meet the needs of fast-moving organizations. They allow team members to acquire new skills quickly and start putting that knowledge to work right away.
Addresses skill gaps
Every organization has areas where skills are lacking. Every leader, both new and seasoned, has areas where they could use some support. Capsulized learning provides a practical solution to bridge these gaps in a format that doesn’t require a huge commitment of time and resources.
Boosts confidence
Learning new skills and knowledge can boost team members’ confidence and self-esteem, particularly those new to leadership roles. And it can have a positive impact on all aspects of a person’s life, not just work performance.
