With the holidays less than one month away and new COVID-19 restrictions in place, you may be looking to re-energize this month. Why not invest in your development and participate in LinkedIn Learning’s 12 Days of Learning Challenge

“LinkedIn Learning’s 12 Days of Learning Challenge reminds us that this holiday season can be about end-of-year celebrations and spending time with loved ones, but given that we are at home right now due to COVID-19, it can also be about continuous learning,” says Karen Chown, director of talent management and organizational effectiveness. “UCalgary invites you to find some time to invest in your development amid the year-end craze and to enhance your professional skills.”
