Professional Development Made Easy – Skillsoft Online Learning



Online learning fits employee needs:

- Addresses the diversity and geographic distance of the Dal community

TIPS for online learning:
- Prepare your own learning plan

- Don’t wait for “free time” – schedule it in
- Discuss your ideas with your manager/supervisor

Managers/Supervisors can:
• Inform employees of Professional Development opportunities through Skillsoft

• Support employees in scheduling time for online learning

Note: Online learning can be a professional development program. When employees are approved/required to take professional development programs, time spent taking such programs shall be considered working hours in accordance with the terms of the applicable collective agreement or handbook.
