LinkedIn Learning
Having resources to learn and grow are one of the top 5 reasons that employees are engaged and stay in their jobs. At RMA we enhance learning opportunities by providing LinkedIn Learning as a value-added employee benefit.
LinkedIn Learning is an online platform with over 10 000 courses and videos to help you achieve your professional goals. It is a learning video library of engaging, quality courses taught by recognized industry experts. The platform offers you recommendations based on your profile and other interests you express when setting up your account. The recommendations take your skills, accomplishments, and endorsements into account as well.
-
Courses can be accessed 24/7 on or offsite the office.
-
Courses range from micro lessons (a few minutes to get some tips) to longer lessons (courses that have beginning, intermediate and advanced skill levels to achieve).
-
You can take courses in the hard and soft skills you need to be more productive in your role or move to the next career level.
-
You can create your own learning paths and “playlists”. You can also partner with your manager to build your learning path to help you gain needed skills for your current and future career
In February this year, our CEO Jay Singh recommended that you try out the “Improving your Listening Skills” course on the LinkedIn Learning portal. This is what some of our staff had to say about their experience trying out the course:
“I found it very insightful and useful. In general people tend to listen to formulate their response, instead of really listening to understand. There’s a saying that goes: ‘You have two ears and one mouth, because you need to listen twice as much as you speak/respond’. I’ve had to learn this habit as a Business Analyst but it’s a great life-skill to adopt. It fosters better communication all round. I would definitely recommend that every staff member in RMA does the course.” - Marinda Vivier- Business Analyst
“The course was quite interesting, having to listen is often more rewarding than just speaking when nobody is listening, and yes, I would recommend the course.” - Quintin Wilson - System Tester
