Learning Platforms/ Courses:

There are many learning platforms online. I am of the mind-set to take advantage of all the FREE options available.

LinkedIn Learning:

While the courses are not equivalent to college courses and I do not know how much employers care about them but I enjoy listening and take advantage of when they offer Learning Path’s for free.
