Learn Something New

What if this wasn’t a lock down? What if it was the perfect excuse to do all the things you never have time to do? From learning a new language to honing your photography skills and passing your theory test, this is your chance to swot up without missing out on all the usual social occasions.

During this time, there are also many local networking groups continuing to network, but online. Many of the members are actually using their skills to help others, or offering skill swaps.

If it’s a career change you’re after, or if your own your own business, there are plenty of online workshops and YouTube tutorials especially if you want to expand your knowledge or learn about social media and building websites. You can even tackle data at the Google Analytics Academy, learn a new language with DuoLingo or buff up on fashion illustration (and just about everything else) with Skillshare or courses.modernstates.org. Another excellent source with a full range of courses available for all levels and skill sets is alison.com Choose from technology, language, science, health, humanities, business, math, marketing and lifestyle – they have got it covered.
