43 cursos livres que você
pode fazer gratuitamente (e realmente terminar)
Sim, férias é o momento perfeito para relaxar e recarregar. Mas
é também o momento perfeito para adquirir algumas novas
habilidades. Coloque seu cérebro relaxado (e horário de trabalho)
ao bom uso! Como você se sentiria melhor se, quando voltar ao
trabalho, adicionar ao seu currículo uma outra nova habilidade ?
Antes de começar salientando, sei que não estamos pedindo para
sacrificar suas noites de férias. Em vez disso, estamos sugerindo
dedicar algumas horas por semana para avançar na sua carreira com
uma aula on-line. (Online é igual ao seu sofá e um copo de
vinho opcional.)
Para tornar o processo mais fácil para você, nós fizemos duas
coisas. Primeira, nós só escolhemos classes que você pode concluir
em menos de 10 semanas (com algumas que podem ser concluídas em uma
hora). Segundo, damos curadoria para esta lista ( que está a
seguir ) garantindo que sejam apenas cursos que são valiosos e
interessantes.
A melhor parte?
Todos eles são gratuitos.
Então, sem mais delongas, aqui estão 43 classes que você pode se
inscrever ainda hoje.
Yes, summer is the perfect time to relax and recharge. But, it's
also the perfect time to pick up a few new skills. Put that relaxed
brain (and work schedule) to good use! How accomplished would you
feel if, when September rolls around, you could open up your resume
and add another skill to it? Very, we're guessing.
Before you start stressing, know that we're not asking you to
sacrifice your summer nights to a droning professor, Instead, we're
suggesting devoting a few hours every week to advancing your career
with an online class. (Online equals your couch and your sweats and
an optional glass of wine.)
To make the process easier for you, we did two things. One, we
only chose classes you can complete in less than 10 weeks (with
some that can be completed in an hour). Two, we hand-curated this
list to ensure it's only courses that are valuable and interesting.
The best part? All of them are free.
So, with no further ado, here are 43 classes you can sign up for
today.
