This refers to the ability to identify digital learning opportunities that will help assist with your personal development.
The digital world develops at a rapid pace, and to keep up-to-date with these changes it may not always be possible to attend a course and event at the right time, also, something may be so new that traditional training support is limited.
A further consideration is that you may work in an organisation that has a limited staff development budget and you may have to identify your own training needs or even develop training opportunities for colleagues. This can often be done by taking advantage of the increasing range of online learning, such as podcasts, videos, free webinars and professional case studies. Some organisations and suppliers also often have their own YouTube channels.
Remember when you are undertaking any training to make a note of it for your personal development records and for your CV. Some providers also give badges on completion of training which can be added to your Linked-in profile, or linked to via a web link.
There are many tools that can help you to record your training such as:
