USI Lifelong Learning – Find Success in the Workplace!
Success in the workplace is not necessarily tied to how intelligent you are, how many qualifications you hold or even how hard you work. While these traits are important, learning and sharpening your skills are equally important. Career advancement can stall without fine tuning and developing new skills.
These certificates combine in-depth learning with online flexibility. Each certificate requires you to complete 3 to 4 courses and is offered fully online. Learn at your own pace, using quizzes, optional assignments and online discussions to help deepen your understanding. There are no admission requirements.
