I've recently completed a UCD skills course in Mentoring. I found it very beneficial, as it allowed me to explore aspects of management style and provided a basic understanding of the differences between mentoring and coaching. The course offered insightful, bite-sized content and the opportunity to connect with others who are also interested in the field. It also provided access to additional external resources related to the topic. Overall, it's a great introduction to the subject—helping you get familiar with the area before making a full commitment
I've recently completed a skill sprint on change management and AI. I found it very helpful, especially because I could do it during lunchtime—it was very accessible. The team I worked with was very engaged, and the discussions were particularly helpful for someone like me who had little prior knowledge of the subject. The lecturer was very knowledgeable about the history of AI and its evolution, which I found fascinating. It's a great way to get a basic grounding in something you might know very little about.
The UCD Skill Sprint course is a fantastic way to pick up practical, high-impact skills in a short amount of time. It’s hands-on, engaging, and packed with real-world tips and expert advice. The sessions are just the right mix of in-depth and easy to follow, making it perfect for busy professionals who want to upskill without wasting time. Highly recommend it if you’re looking to stay sharp and ahead of the game in today’s fast-changing world.
