About this course
A course catalogue alone does not make learning part of work. Shelley Osborne’s introduction to the upskilling imperative considers how managers create time, motivation and feedback for continued development within their teams.
The sequence connects learning with adapting to change, then explores ways to develop agile learners, communicate learning opportunities and put study into everyday work. Activities lead toward a business case and an action plan for the team.

There are no formal prerequisites, though the content is aimed primarily at team and organizational leaders. Use the reflective activities to identify a specific obstacle in your setting before proposing another training initiative.
The instructor bases the course on her book, but purchasing that book is not listed as a requirement. Worksheets and job aids are described in the course materials. A useful outcome is a focused plan for making learning easier to act on, rather than a promise that every training activity improves business performance.
