This is a burgeoning field, and you can check it out on your own or see what your company recommends. Individual courses at a local college. Some people prefer to take courses on their own rather than under the aegis of their employer. Conferences and conventions. These are great opportunities to pick up industry-specific information and to network with people in other organizations.
Many people say they learn best in informal settings.
If this is true, think about how well-developed your networking lists are and how often you're using them. You may be neglecting a priceless learning resource if you're not getting out and about enough. So, Connie, think about these possibilities and start talking about them with other people at your level, both inside and outside your company. This will keep you moving forward, rather than being pulled off in an easier direction.
