Learner Information
Now that the “home office” has become the norm, the need for further education in specific areas has increased. Technology continues to herald new ways of doing business and new economic opportunities. This presents challenges but also new possibilities – certain job roles will disappear or be redefined, and emerging job roles will require new and different skillsets.
