Work on your personal and professional skills online:
We learn at work by sharing knowledge with colleagues and by following courses. That may not seem feasible at the moment, when most of us are working from home. However, if you want to continue to develop your knowledge and skills, for example in communication, creative thinking, focus or personal leadership, you can follow a free online course – via Leiden University – given by New Heroes in one of the following categories:

•     Life hacks
•     Communication
•     Management and leadership

You can start the course straight away. Just log in with your ULCN account.
